Curate, St. Mary’s, Wollaton Park, Nottingham

As an assistant minister of a church with a primary school and a secondary school close by I am immensely grateful to God for our partnership with crossteach (Nottingham). I have been greatly helped by crossteach in helping me see how the church family can grow the relationship with both schools. I have been hugely impressed by the character of those involved with crossteach, the quality or resources, and their range of expertise. With the support of crossteach I have been able to share what faith in Jesus looks like in appropriate, fun, and though provoking ways. This has included assemblies and acts of worship but also visits to our church building and newer initiatives such as Easter Experience. As a member of a local support team for crossteach Nottingham I have seen first-hand the number of schools who would like to partner with crossteach. I have also see the positive response of schools to the work crossteach have been doing teaching the Christian message and giving students the opportunities to find out more. I would like to commend crossteach and encourage other churches and schools to consider partnering with them. I would also like to thank them for the work they are doing and the support they have given to me. Rev’d Tom Devas Curate, St. Mary’s, Wollaton Park, Nottingham
