This is our last month before Revd Chris Gaynor’s arrival here. His licensing service will be on April 27, at St Nicholas’s Ashchurch at 3 pm, and it will be led by Bishop Robert Springett. We are now into the details of planning both the service and refreshments afterwards - do come to this event if you can, and join in our fulsome welcome to Chris and his family.

His first service for us will be on Sunday 4 May. It will be a benefice Holy Communion at Kemerton, to give him a chance to introduce himself and his faith to us all. Again, you are all very welcome – this will be the first time when we will know him as our priest, and it will begin to establish the tone and direction of his leadership.
