Rev’d Catherine Bowstead

Catherine Bowstead 2

We’re coming to Wokingham after 11 very happy years in Colchester where I’ve had pastoral charge of 3 busy churches – one in the town centre and two congregations to the north of the town; one a young church plant and the other a more established congregation.  Colchester has changed a lot in those 11 years as the rapid housing development has made it the fastest growing town in the UK.  Before that we had 7 years in Southend-on-Sea and my first appointment was in Epsom.  Before entering the Methodist Ministry I was a primary school teacher.

I’m married to Mike who works as a Tax Inspector – he’ll be working at HMRC in Reading.  He is a Local Preacher and enjoys singing.  We have two young adult children; James has just graduated from university and will be spending the next year as Resident Organist at Pangbourne College whilst on Sundays he’ll be Organ Scholar at All Saints Church in Fulham.  Hannah is reading for a degree in Classics at Cambridge and is about to start her second year. She enjoys singing and a variety of crafts.

My particular joys in ministry are preaching and leading worship.  I love being with people and enabling them to find and use their gifts, and I enjoy working with children and families.  In my spare time I enjoy walking, reading and music.

I’m very much looking forward to getting to know you over the coming months, and keenly anticipating working alongside you for God’s Kingdom.  I hope and pray that I shall be able to use my gifts and insights to further God’s work in this place.
