I’m really looking forward to joining you in this wonderful team, as together we continue to build our churches and seek to bring the joy and love of God to every part of our community. I am excited to meet and work with the schools, uniformed organisations and all the people of these parishes, and my family and I look forward to engaging with new opportunities to grow, nurture and serve the churches of the Turton Moorland Team. And our dog, Snoopy, will be thrilled with the opportunity for new walks and places to explore!It has been a privilege to serve at Bolton Parish Church and St Philip’s over the last five years, as curate and Hulme Lecturer. Throughout this time, I have met and worked with so many remarkable and lovely people and have made many wonderful friends here. It will be sad to say goodbye. But looking ahead, I’m eagerly anticipating the new opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in my new role, and journeying with you all. Please keep both teams in your prayers at this time.’The date of his installation is still to be arranged.
