On Monday we enjoyed readings of poems by LAMDA Speech and Drama students on the theme of summer. 

On Wednesday, Rev’d Vindra led her final school service as Chaplain of Queenswood. Mr Daughton paid tribute to her thoughtfulness, her kindness and her inimitable elegance, before Rev’d Vindra herself reflected on her own spiritual journey, and the significance of Queenswood in her development as a minister.

She concluded with these words:

“This morning I want to thank you for being part of my journey, for your acceptance, your cooperation and your respect. It has been a privilege to be part of yours. In 2027, the Chapel will celebrate its 100th year and I hope to return to Queenswood to celebrate with you. So my thanks to all those who make Chapel possible, and I wish you God's richest blessings in your lives.”

We would like to thank Rev’d Vindra for her years of steadfast service and support, through some of the most challenging times for the Queenswood community, and wish her all the best in her new post as minister at Surbiton Hill Methodist Church.

We look forward to welcoming Rev’d Kate Douglas, Queenswood’s new Chaplain, in September.
