Claudia Lupi has joyfully accepted the invitation from our circuit stewards to serve as our minister at The Square and Harlington from September 2022. Claudia is married to
Pierre and they have three girls aged 10-17 who will all also be joining us;
Claudia's mother, an ex-minister herself, will also be living with them.
We met Claudia and Pierre last Saturday and they are a lovely couple. Claudia has a warm and positive approach that draws you to her and Pierre is obviously a huge support to her. She lists her strengths as pastoral and mission.
Thank you to all those who gave up part of their weekend to come and meet with her and Pierre.
