Our lovely vicar, Bishop Rob, who was with us for almost four years has now retired to Hertfordshire. We are so grateful to him and his wife Janine, for all that they have done to make our church such a vibrant community. We miss them very much, but wish them a blessed, long and happy retirement.Since 28th April, we have entered a period of interregnum until we find another priest to be our vicar. This means that each week there will be a different priest leading our Sunday Service. Our curate, Fr. Tim, will be with us on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month and visiting Priests on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.Do come and join us, you will still receive a very warm welcome.
