IMPORTANT NOTICE

‘As you are no doubt aware, Reverend Fran is currently very unwell and remains in hospital – we continue to pray for her. Although it is impossible to put an exact time-frame on Fran’s recovery, we anticipate it may be some months before she is able to continue her ministry in the Benefice.

The churchwardens of all 3 parishes met with Reverend Liz on Thursday (12th June) to discuss the practicalities of covering services across the Benefice between now and the end of August. Inevitably, there will be more lay-led services, fewer communion services and more joint Benefice services. Please use your churchwardens as the first point of contact wherever possible – they will then put you in touch with Reverend Liz if required. We ask for your understanding, and trust in God’s provision for what may seem like a challenging time.’                                              Revd Liz 14 June 2025
