She is married to David, a plumber, and has two boys – Joshua and Samuel.  This is her fourth appointment in the Methodist Church, having served in Maidstone, Crowborough and Tonbridge, all in the South East.  She spends her spare time picking clothes up from the boys’ bedroom floor and finding things they have lost.

Margaret Harwood

Church Steward

I joined the PPW Leadership Team as a Steward a few years ago. I have been involved in church life at Wesley, Southbank Rd (where I was their first female church steward) and then at PPW for many years. I taught in Sunday club for several years, and now coordinate the Toddler Group. Working with children is something I treasure.

I am a people person and love welcoming people into our Church. I love to sing as part of the church Worship Group. It’s a way I can relax, and I also find it fulfilling, knowing we are worshipping God. And although I am not a gardener, I enjoy trying!

I have four lovely grandchildren who keep me in order, and dog sitting keeps me fit.
I never thought I would ever become a Steward again, but the Lord had other plans. My biggest challenge is learning modern technology.

He enjoys walking and socialising with friends and anything LFC.
