FINDING A NEW VICAR

Over the coming weeks the church wardens and PCCs will be working on the process towards appointing a new vicar to replace John Fry. We want to include all our congregations in helping inform this process. There will be different ways used to gather feedback on what we should be looking for in a person who could fill the role. We encourage you all to start thinking and praying about what sort of person and skills we need.

More information about how this will happen will be available over the next weeks. Feel free to talk to any of the wardens, your LLM or any PCC member about this.
