With a caffeine and chocolate level that could power a small city, Maddy brings magic to our mornings and keeps us all awake and laughing.

Delle Matthews
Delle grew up in a Christian family but came to faith in Jesus herself during her teen years, developing a passion for God’s word. She has had opportunities to help others really get into the word of God as a literacy consultant with Wycliffe Bible Translators and then through working at the Melbourne School of Theology. Delle loves reading, walking, gardening and knitting.
Carolyn Burns
Carolyn has been a parishioner at St John’s since 2006. She works faithfully as the face of the St John’s office, and particularly enjoys working alongside the staff team serving God in her administrative role. Singing Christian music is a deep passion and joy of Carolyn’s and being a part of the worship team at St John’s is a great privilege which hopefully inspires and encourages others to feel God’s presence and love.
