       A LETTER FROM YOUR RECTOR
 19th   WI: Christmas Festivities
       Thriving not Surviving
       Have your say and help to shape our benefice for the future

       When I wrote last month, I noted that providing people applied interviews for the
       post of Associate Priest were scheduled to take place on June 11 . I am therefore
                                                                th
       delighted  to  tell  you  that  people  did  apply,  interviews  were  held  and  a  new
       Associate Priest has been appointed for our benefice. This is very good news and
       we  look  forward  with  hope  and  anticipation  to  the  future  as  we  move  on
       together. However, and I know this will be a little frustrating, at this point of writing I
       cannot  give  you  any  further  information  about  our  new  Associate  Priest  as  the
       notification of the appointment has to be made in all of the churches, their own
       and ours, at the same time; as yet we don’t have the go ahead for this. All will be
       revealed in the weeks to come!

       It is interesting and reassuring to note that our benefice Profile, drawn up with the
       appointment of our Associate Priest in mind, is being held up as a model of good
       practice  in  the  diocese  for  how  things  should  work  in  multi-parish  benefices.
