Our Vacancy Journey
On Tues 11th June we held the Open Parish Meeting, and to meet our new Archdeacon, the Venerable Catharine Mabuza.

Our next step is the Vacancy Vision Workshop for the PCC on 26th June, when we will focus on the future of our church and the qualities we are looking for in a new incumbent.

Prayer for the vacancy
God our Father, you have welcomed each one of us in Jesus and called us to be His body in this place:
​
Send your Holy Spirit at this time of uncertainty and change, to fill us with vision, energy, and faithfulness in prayer, that we may be true to our calling to bring new life to our community.
​
Give your heavenly wisdom to those who are to choose a new vicar for this parish, that she or he may be a wise and gentle shepherd of your people, ready to serve us with joy, to build us up in faith and to lead us by example in loving obedience to your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
