Darren Dalton training in Oxford for ministry
Fantastic news, and a wise choice because Darren is going to train as a vicar. He is an excellent Family Worker for Littlemoor, and has been part of the worship leadership team for several years. Our thoughts for him and his family as they move to Oxford. The Church is fortunate to have such an energetic thoughtful person heading for ordination.
