Morning Service at 10.30 on Sunday 18th January at Glenvale C of E School

Message from the Vicar:

‘Connecting with Jesus, with each other, with the community’

We have been extremely blessed to have two Curates, Ben and Livvi, training with us. It is very rare to get one curate, so the fact we have had two has been amazing. Ben and Livvi are due to complete their training in March and will be free to apply for their first post. They have agreed however to stay on during my sabbatical.

We will not be getting another Curate in the near future. Going from three full time clergy to one will be a huge change and the PCC are therefore meeting on Monday evening to begin praying and asking the Lord what His priorities are for us at this time. Please pray for the PCC as we begin this process but in reality this is something for the whole church to begin to embrace……..

Weekly Services:

This Sunday will be a communion service.
