March 2010: Stondon member, Mike Campbell, felt the call to serve as Pastor to the congregation. We were delighted to take part in his induction service.

The little village chapel was packed with congregation and many guests. Former pastor, Mike Ewings and wife Helen can be seen here. Also present were Rev Jane Kingsnorth and husband, John. |
Many members of Mike's family had travelled up from London for the occasion. |
