Farewell to Rachel

Our FP interns Rachel, Becki and Jonny have now completed their internship with us. We’re grateful to God for bringing them to us and to each of them for the service they’ve given to us as a church over the past year.

In her final FP update, Rachel shares how her internship has concluded and what she’s going on to do next…

I can't believe my year as an intern has come to an end! I thought I would start this final update by telling you all what I've been doing over lockdown. One of the main ways I've been serving in this time is in youth work. I, alongside a great team of people, have been creating content to go through the first half of Exodus with the youth, and meeting with them via Zoom on Sunday evenings. It's been so fun to get to be with them every week, and I'm going to continue doing so over the summer.

Secondly, Jonny, Becki and I had our last ever training block last week, again via Zoom. It was so sad to say goodbye to everyone there, but it was a great 3 days. I got to give a talk on Genesis 1-3 and Revelation 21-22, which was really fun because it's what my dissertation was about, so it was great to get to share that with people!

Lastly, I had a job interview on Friday for a graduate scheme in Assurance at EY, and was offered the job later that same day! I have accepted it and so will start in September in Southampton. I will miss Durham and Emmanuel Church but hopefully this next stage of my life will be an exciting one.

Thank you so much for being my church community these last few years.

All my love,
Rachel

We wish Rachel every blessing as she relocates to Southampton.
