The 4th round of advertising for our next Priest-in-Charge received one application. The post was advertised as part-time and permanent, with a secure home in the Vicarage on Coast Hill.
The applicant was interviewed on 17 JULY 2024 but the outcome has not yet been publicised.
We continue to be confident that God already knows that special person who He has chosen to be our next leader in this Benefice, but, as a congregation of human beings, we are all somewhat confused about the length of time that we remain in vacancy. It is so easy for us to question what God is teaching us about ourselves and our trust in Him during this extended time with no named leader. It has been truly challenging.
Please pray for our selection panel from the Benefice, that they will be trusting (and listening to) our God - who knows us all so well - and that they receive the wisdom of the Holy Spirit during the whole interview process!
Thank you for your continuing prayer support for the Church Councils in this Benefice, and especially for our churchwarden at this time. Watch this space for further news!
