The church office is inhabited by wonderful people who know about everything that's going on and make sure that everything happens just the way it ought to. Christine, Valerie and Jane make the world go round - at least they do on Tuesday and Thursday mornings when the office is open for business. They make the best coffee, have an inexhaustible supply of delicious biscuits and never fail to provide a listening ear.

The office is the source of all the church leaflets, Heslington Outlook and the weekly newsletter. They look after room bookings (rooms in the building are available for hire by suitable groups), keep a record of which rooms are in use at any time and issue tickets for church social events. They arrange for, and look after, engineers and repairers, welcome visitors to the building and will supply you with a toilet roll if you really need one. They are indispensible.

In the picture on the right are Christine, Jane and Valerie making things happen. Jane performs serenely and knows all the answers to computer challenges. Valerie tackles anything and constantly encourages and praises us all, while Christine is at the centre making it all happen. Our most recent recruit is Peter (Main) who works magic with our website (including versions in Japanese, Korean and Chinese) and often accompanies our toiling with a Bach toccata and a fugue or two.

In order to encourage us towards moving in a new direction, along with the new vicar when s/he arrives, the present office staff will step down at the end of 2011. They richly deserve a rest.
