Our previous Churchwardens' Training Day took place at St Mary's Church, Ely in September, and was, as ever, of particular interest to all churchwardens, whether newly elected or have been in post for some time.
If you know of someone within your parish who might be thinking about serving as a churchwarden in the future, do encourage them to come along to these sessions too, as the day is a good overview of what to expect when in office.
