| Kingsdowne Pastor - Maureen Olley
Maureen is best known in our church fellowship for her very high profile work as co-ordinator of the Flower Arrangers' Guild. The flowers are seen week by week, and aid our worship. However, she also has a more 'hidden' ministry as the Kingsdowne Pastoral Link. In this role she makes frequent and regular visits to Kingsdowne to visit the residents and to keep the congregation there in touch with the church. She also supports the Rector in the provision of worship at Kingsdowne every month.

| Pastoral Team - BSG
The Baptism Support Group (BSG) is led by Debbie Coles (pictured), and has about half a dozen members. Their ministry has a public face in church during baptism when they hand over the baptismal candle and read the Commission, but the member of the team assigned as the 'pastoral link' to the baptism will already have carried out at least one pastoral visit before the baptism has taken place, and will visit the family again after the baptism, to ensure that a strong link is made with the wider church family.

| Pastoral Team - LEM
The Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEM) are a team of volunteers each of whom is commissioned by the Bishop to carry out their ministry. They assist with the distribution of Communion in church, and also take the 'reserved sacrament' (parts of the consecrated elements of bread and wine, specially kept in church for this purpose) to members of the church who are sick or housebound, thus enabling them (in their own homes) to join in and be part of the church's celebration of the Holy Communion - the Eucharist.
