It is with great pleasure that we can now announce that, subject to a satisfactory DBS disclosure, our new Rector will be the Revd James Harris. The interview panel were unanimous n their decision and were all impressed by what James had to offer.

As soon as arrangements can be put in place, James, with his wife and family, will be moving into Long Ashton Rectory. A likely date for his Licencing and Service of Welcome is March 5, 2020, although this has yet to be confirmed.

Please pray for James and his family as they prepare to move here, and continue to pray for this benefice as we get ready to welcome him and the rich ministry that we will bring to us.
