Reverend Keith Jones

Vicar's News

I have been Vicar of Holy Trinity since November 1999, having moved here from Leek in North Staffordshire. I was Ordained in Liverpool in 1975, leaving in 1979 to work for 9 years in Buckhurst Hill in Essex. I was born in Crosby, which is only a few miles from Formby, so I have returned to my roots.

I am married to Meg, a Speech and Language Therapist. We have three grown up children all following their chosen professions.

Reverend Kath Rogers was Ordained as Priest by Bishop James in Liverpool Cathedral, in June 2008.

On the 12th November Kath was licensed as a fulltime curate at Holy Trinity. Prior to that Kath was in full time employment and was a non-stipendiary or unpaid curate working in the parish when she is not at work or enjoying family life. The change means that Kath will train at Holy Trinity for two years before going to be a vicar or priest in charge of her own church elsewhere

On 21st February Ruth retired from this position.

I have been a member of Holy Trinity since 1974 when I moved from Portsmouth to Formby with my family. I am married to my wife Barbara and have two grown up sons. I was licensed as a reader for Holy Trinity Church on 6th November 1991 at Ormskirk Parish Church by Revered Michael Henshall, Bishop of Warrington.

As a reader I conduct services, preach, and lead intercessory prayers. I also conduct funerals when requested and take Holy communion on a rota basis to those unable to attend church due to illness.

Brian has been a Lay Reader at Holy Trinity since he was licensed in 2001. He has been an active member of the celebration service team since its formation and enjoys leading all styles of worship. Brian still works full time as a Dental Surgeon, and is married to Penny with two grown up children.

I’ve attended Holy Trinity Church with Jean since we moved to Formby in 1979 and found a very warm welcome here. We have two grown-up sons, Ben and Owen. I was a Venture Scout leader for about 10 years and have sung (after a fashion) in the church music group. I was licensed as a Reader in 1998. I enjoy preaching because it’s the only time I can speak without being interrupted. I’m a geologist by profession and believe in the complete harmony of the Bible with modern science.

I'm Sylvia, the mother of 2 daughters and the grandmother of 2 grandsons, that all live locally, so my retirement (from nursing) is very busy. I have been licensed as a Reader since 1988, and I am most interested in helping people have a greater experience of prayer, and exploring the Scriptures. Mainly, I have an input at Redgate, where, apart from taking part in the Services, I support the Adventurer's team.

After a life of sailing the seven seas I met my wife Margaret whilst passing through Liverpool in the early 1980’s, where we have lived happily since. Was licensed as a Reader in April 2007, and to Holy Trinity in April 2009. Becoming Reader with Responsibility for Redgate: “The Church in the School” on 21st February 2010. I enjoy the challenge set for each of us by the Bible.
