Dear all

Please find below an announcement to be shared during worship on Sunday 18th January across Kesgrave, Little Bealings, Playford and Emerge.

From the Archdeacon of Suffolk

To the Benefice of Kesgrave, Little Bealings, Playford and Lightwave Emerge.

I write to share with you that the Revd Canon Andrew Dotchin will be stepping down as Interim priest in charge on Easter Day, Sunday 5th April. We give thanks for Andrew’s leadership during this interim phase.

We will be advertising the post of Vicar in March and interviewing in April, do keep the appointment process in your prayers. The Deanery team and I will support the benefice ministry team during the vacancy period.

Please hold Andrew and Lesley-Anne in your prayers as they prepare to move and for Andrew as he retires from parish ministry.

With my continued prayers for you all.

Archdeacon Rich
