  • In This Issue
    February 2019 THE MAGAZINE OF THE HORWICH & RIVINGTON TEAM CHURCHES Price 60p LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF: I’m Nicola Butterworth and am delighted to have been given the opportunity to join you as Team Curate. You may know I visited the churches in the team as a ‘secret shopper’ last autumn, the warm welcome in each place was greatly appreciated. Although I came unannounced, my appearance is distinctive; I have alopecia and usually wear a scarf. Philip and I have been married for 27 years (see right) and have three sons David, Mark and Jonathan (see left). Two are at home and the other married. Philip’s dad lives with us due to his failing health; we have a border collie called Solo who is a little bit loopy and very sensitive. Philip is a self- employed driving instructor, a job he’s done for the past 26 years. Home for us is Leigh and we live just around the corner from Pennington Flash. Each day as we open our bedroom curtains our view is of the Pike and Winter Hill; little did I know what God had on the horizon! I’ve been studying with All Saint’s College for Mission and Ministry in Manchester, while continuing to work as a self-employed peripatetic piano and keyboard teacher working for Wigan Music Service along with some private teaching. I enjoy watching films, music of most genres, gardening, baking and drinking coffee. I came to faith as a teenager while at Christ Church Pennington in Leigh, although I currently worship within the Astley, Tyldesley and Mosley Common ministry team.
