Farewell to Camilla

REvD CaMilla vEitCh, minister at the united Reformed Church in Coldwell street, is leaving wirksworth at the end of July to take up a new post in shropshire.

She will be taking over responsibility for a group of seven churches: a large one in Shrewsbury, and six smaller ones across the county.

Born in Sweden, Camilla started training for the ministry in her early 20s, and has been the minister at West Derbyshire uRC (Wirksworth) for 16 years.

“I’m sad to be leaving,” she told CF. “We have always loved Wirksworth, and always will – it has a very special place in our hearts. We will miss the town, the church, the whole community – we have been involved with lots of things in the community. It has been a blessing to be so involved, and to see our children growing up here. And now there is the challenge of something new.”

Following her departure, it is anticipated that the church will become part of a group of churches in the north Derbyshire area.
