Friendly Faces in Barley Hill Church 

Please find below an introduction to some of the people you may see around church.
 

Our Vicar - Rachel Cross		Church Administrator and PCC Secretary - Debs Salisbury
Rachel is married to Simon and they have 2 adults sons; Ben and Theo. Rachel has been Vicar at Barley Hill, Thame and St Catherine’s, Towersey since 2014. Before ordination she was an Intensive Care Nurse for 10 years.		I am happiest pottering in our garden and kitchen, drinking coffee or wine with family and friends. When not working to keep church life organised and running smoothly, you will find me, together with Phil, trying to ‘keep the show on the road’ at home with our three boisterous young children. Having moved from London to Thame, we joined Barley Hill Church in 2017 looking for a relaxed and friendly Church – and haven’t been disappointed.
Church Warden - Al French		Church Warden - Carrie Priestnall
Al is married to Eva and they have 3 young children; Martha, Sebastian and Peggy. They have been at Barley Hill Church since 2018. When they chose to come to here, the generous welcome and kindness of the broad family of the church had a lot to do with it.		Carrie moved to Thame in 2015. She is married to Steve, who is an Officer in the RAF and they have moved a lot with his job. They have lived in 10 houses since they married! Steve and Carrie have teenage twins; Jake and Amy and Carrie a primary school teacher in Aylesbury.
Our PCC
Marie Sutton		Deanery Synod Rep - Andy Sims
Usually seen with at least one child in tow as mum to 3 whirlwinds; Marie joined the PCC 3 years ago and initially looked after safeguarding and now helps with various ministries, including tea and toast.
Our Treasurer - Donna Maddock		Janette Dixon
		Janette is married to James and they have 2 adult children at university - Luke and Sarah. She has been at BHC for 19 years - although she would still not describe myself as Anglican! Jeannette is a specialist community public health nurse for children and young people. She is also the Churches safeguarding officer
Bridget Truman		Pam Laws
Bridget is married to Robert and they have 2 sons - James and Mark - who are members of their local churches. Before retiring, Bridget worked in a large comprehensive school. She is part of the BHC worship band.		Pam and her husband were missionaries in France for 18yrs, before they worked in a missionary training college and later training and practicing as counsellors. Sadly her husband died in 2015. She moved to Thame in 2018 to be closer to her family - for which we at BHC are hugely thankful!
