THE Methodist churches of Bramhope, Guiseley and Yeadon have a new ministry team.

Starting this month, church minister Roger Smith has been joined by activity organisers Samantha Price and Jean Fletcher to work as a team serving the three communities.

“This is an exciting opportunity”, said the Rev Roger Smith. “Our aim is not only to serve the people in the churches but to reach out to people in our communities. Sam and Jean have a wide range of experience between them including youth work, communications, mental health and dementia care. We want to discover people’s needs and respond in new ways.”
