Lynne Bishop Lynne has been a member of New Barn Christian Fellowship along with her husband Paul for around 18 years. Music and playing the cello has always been a big part of life and now enjoys playing and worshipping God in the Worship Team music group. Born disabled (minus a right hand), Lynne was raised to overcome obstacles and prejudices that came across her path and, as a result, feels that God has called her to have a particular affinity with those who are vulnerable or face challenges in their lives. Working as a civil servant, Lynne is part of disability groups within the workplace to offer help and guidance to others. Lynne draws on the Bible passage John 9 v1-5 regularly as anyone, whether disabled, vulnerable or those merely going through a tough time, can have God’s works displayed in them and hopes to live her own life so that His works may be visible through her. Now a member of the Eldership Team, Lynne feels that God is using her for a new purpose and direction. |

Paul Bishop Having grown up attending Wilmington Christian Fellowship, our parent church, Paul joined New Barn Christian Fellowship with his wife, Lynne, in 2002 when they moved to New Barn. Often working the church’s media projector on a Sunday morning, Paul also enjoys being involved with church events. Paul has worked in banking for 40 years with the last 20 of these as a Small Business Manager. It was natural that he was asked to take on the role of Treasurer which he has done for the past ten years however this is something that Paul is happy to undertake as he feels it gives him the opportunity to serve God and the church community. |
