Our previous minister, Rev. Helen White, moved on to her new position in Derbyshire at the end of July, and the plan was that we would welcome our new minister in September. But the plan changed, and the Rev. Richard Bittleston has only recently become the local Minister in the Wantage and Abingdon Circuit who has pastoral charge of the Spring Line Church. Richard has been Minister of Trinity Abingdon since June 2008. Trinity is a joint United Reform / Methodist church within the Church in Abingdon, so he has responsibilities within both the URC and Methodist churches. We are especially pleased to welcome Richard because he plays the organ, which means that occasionally we will have live instead of electronic music at our services!
