Chief Steward |
Libby says: "I have been worshipping at Coal Aston for 47 years and their pastoral visitor for over twenty years. Caring for each church member and also the wider community is very important to me. I think it is a way of spreading God's love and feel privileged to be allowed to do this. My family live in Hull and Hathersage and my hobbies are walking in the Peak District, singing in a choir, visiting art galleries and the cinema." |

Having recently retired as a Practice Manager at a local GP surgery, Sue now enjoys time spent with her husband and their family. They have one daughter and two grandchildren. |
Church Treasurer |
Barnaby moved from Sheffield to Coal Aston in 2015 and joined Coal Aston Methodist Church. He became our treasurer a little over a year later. Computers and IT were a hobby from an early age, and although he went on to graduate university with a degree in law, he has worked in software engineering ever since. As well as helping with our church, Barnaby is also active in the Dronfield & District branch of the Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA). |
