Because Woosehill Community Church is an Ecumenical Partnership we have two ministers.  One, Haigh Etches is an Anglican minister and shares his work between St. Catherine's Church, Bearwood and ourselves here on Woosehill.  The second, Libby Godden is a Methodist Minister with pastoral responsibilities for Woosehill who also works with Bracknell Methodist Church. We have a licensed lay minister Elaine Steere.

Rev. Libby Godden

Libby is the Methodist minister appointed from September 2005 to work part-time in Woosehill Community Church and Bracknell Methodist Church.  She lives with her family in Sandhurst.  For Libby, the emphasis of Christianity is not so much as a religion, so much as a lifestyle based on the model of Jesus Christ, whose radical love and acceptance could transform the world if we allowed it to.

Libby also works in Aldershot as the part-time administrator for the Ehlers-Danlos Support Group, a national charity committed to supporting people suffering from the rare genetic condition, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome – a secular role which complements her work as a minister.

Libby has many varied leisure interests, but the two that take up most of her spare time are brass banding and family history.

Whilst having no ancestors with a circus background, she has nevertheless become something of a juggler with her various commitments to Church, secular work, home and - not least - family.

Revd. Haigh Etches

 

Haigh Etches has been the Anglican minister of Woosehill Church since it began in 1984. He is also Rector of St. Catherine’s Bear Wood, a beautiful church very popular for weddings! Haigh lives in Sindlesham surrounded by books about a wide variety of subjects, including astronomy, poetry, archaeology, and the history of railways and canals! He is also passionate about art and drama (particularly Shakespeare), and often brings references to them into his sermons. On his days off Haigh is usually found in London, visiting galleries or the theatre.

Elaine Steere (Licensed Lay Minister)

 

Elaine’s job as a lab technician at a local school involves supporting the Physics and Lower School teachers, and her family life she supports the various activities of husband Pete, student son Rob and teenage daughters Kate and Lyndsey, so supporting the work of the ordained ministers at Woosehill comes naturally to her! She leads services about once a month and is involved in many activities including Alpha, Outreach and the Children’s Holiday Club, where she inevitably ends up hoarse, panting and covered with glue, but has an absolutely brilliant time.

If she ever gets any free time, Elaine enjoys watching football (especially if Arsenal are playing!) and reading fantasy novels.
