Trish Tazzini-Lloyd is our new children's worker at St Catherine's! The PCC sub-committee met with Trish on Thursday, and after prayer & over lunch we were all convinced that Trish was God's person for us as a church at this time. She has masses of experience and enthusiasm, and until recently has been running the Salvation Army church in Woodbridge, Suffolk.
Marcus says: "Trish first contacted me just after Easter, when she knew that they as a family would be moving to Ponty, but we didn't then know Kirsty would decide to hand over the reigns this summer; she had seen the website and wanted to ask about the church here, and what opportunities there might be to serve. When this post later opened up, it seemed like the Lord preparing the way for everyone!"
Trish's husband David is originally from Maesycoed, so this is a return to old stamping ground for him - though as a boy he went to various other local churches, from Elim to St John the Graig, and this is his first time at St Catherine's! So far, he is enjoying it! Gemma, their daughter, will be attending Maesycoed Primary School from September.
Kirsty took over from Naomi, and had enormous shoes to fill; but she was the right person, and through her, the Lord has blessed us beyond telling. Now Trish finds herself in the same place, and we trust we will see the same process again. Do pray for them as a family: that we as a church will become a new family for them, and that their house (which has needed a fair amount of work) will soon become a real home. Pray that their time here in Pontypridd will be a blessing - to them, to us, and to many people we don't even know yet - a blessing beyond our imagining as the Lord continues to use this post to pour his love upon children and families in our community.
