Such a creative and enjoyable way to fundraise! A huge well done to St Luke's Church in Winton. 🎵

More than 200 people came through their doors on Saturday for a 12-hour non-stop Pianathon which raised more than £4,000 towards new accessible toilets and the ongoing transformation of the church into a community hub.

The sponsored event brought together pianists, aged from just 2 years old to over 80, who kept the music playing continuously from 9am until 9pm.

The Rev’d Canon Michael Smith, Vicar of the Parish of Four Saints, said “An extraordinary day! It exceeded our expectations. Throughout the day there was a wonderful atmosphere, full of encouragement from beginning to end for the organisers and the pianists. Seeing so many people from across the community come together; whether to play, sponsor, volunteer, eat or simply cheer people on was genuinely moving.”

This is very exciting news! We pray for Gemma as she prepares to move to the Diocese and look forward to welcoming her.

Our next Archdeacon of Bournemouth, Revd Dr Gemma Foster, is currently Rector of Cove Parish in Farnborough in the Diocese of Guildford, Area Dean of Aldershot and she also serves on General Synod.

She is passionate about mission and discipleship, and this passion shaped her PhD research where she explored how the Church can effectively disciple young adults in today’s world. Revd Gemma said, "My hopes and prayers for the role is that I quickly get to know the clergy and parishes of the archdeaconry. I’m very much looking forward to supporting parishes as they Walk the Wessex way of loving, serving, learning and growing and what that means within the context of each parish."
