Gill Doling

Gill Doling has been a Reader since 1996. She is licensed to the Team as a whole and takes part in all joint Team services, however most of her time is spent in and around St Matthias. As well as assisting at the Sunday morning Eucharist, she leads many of the evening services and is coordinator of a group of dedicated Sunday School leaders, teaching the 10 and 11 year olds at least twice a month. In fact much of her week revolves around the church too, as she also teaches at Wings Nursery School which operates out of St Matthias Church Centre.
