She also works part-time doing the finances for Contagious Bible Ministries, who run Christian young people’s conferences in the summer, and additionally does freelance proofreading and copy-editing.

Emily Dowds – Youth and Community Worker
Emily has been part of the church family for many years and enjoys spending time with all ages. She is now working alongside young people in her role of Development Youth and Community worker. She wants to make Jesus known in the hearts of young people in the church and the community, by encouraging and supporting them in their walk with Jesus. When the opportunity arises, Emily enjoys traveling, experiencing different cultures and meeting people.
Laura Churchyard – Youth and Community Worker
I grew up in a Christian home, surrounded by love. For that, I will always be grateful. I am on an exciting journey, rooted in faith, love and hope; I am so excited to see what Wembdon has in store for me over the next few years. I’m a drummer, an avid reader, a keen equestrian and a general nuisance to have around. I take my tea strong, with a splash of milk and a chocolate biscuit. (Chocolate Fingers are my preference.) Please feel free to come and chat to me during Church, during coffee – if you just see me around and about St George’s- I’d love to chat and get to know new people!
