VACANCY NEWS!
THANK YOU to the team, from all the churches, who met last Monday, to finalise the documents for the Vacancy. We had a good meeting together, with the diocese, and can now finish this part of the process.
THANK YOU to the whole team that has got us so far, creating and editing the documents we need to encourage applications, as our new incumbent. Behind the scenes there has been a huge commitment, much time and great effort and we are nearly there!
QUESTIONS Over the next couple of weeks you will have the opportunity to add your thoughts as to the questions you might like the applicants to be asked at their interview. Look out for information at YOUR church. These questions will be discussed at the Vacancy Meeting on 4th October and those thought most relevant will be asked!
