Our Vicar: Reverend Jo Reid
I have been Team Vicar in the Savernake Team for nearly 11 years. I was born at Tidworth Military Hospital; my father was serving in the Royal Corps of Signals. In time, I, too, joined the Army and served with the Signals for 12 years, before leaving to pursue my calling to ordination, and I have been ordained now for 14 years.
My service with the military continues in a very different way – I am Lead Chaplain with the Wiltshire Army Cadet Force, a role I absolutely love!
I also love coming into the school to lead worship on Wednesday mornings. We enjoy thinking about the bigger things in life and how Jesus can help us. The children also know the Lord’s Prayer by heart and say it daily during worship.
The school has a close relationship with the two local churches – St Andrew’s and St Mary’s. Since St Andrew’s is within walking distance the children spend more time there than at St Mary’s. The school Carol service is held at St Mary’s and the children are brought down by coach.
But all the other occasions – Easter, Harvest, Leavers’ Service, and Advent – take place at St Andrew’s Church.
I am also a School Governor and enjoy dropping into school occasionally to catch up with the staff and see what the children are up to. It’s good to see a happy school community with children showing love and respect for one another.
