Update on our advertisement for a new priest in charge as at 7th August 2026

Every day at for 1 hour

Our advertisement for a new priest in charge closed last week, and I am sad to say that there were no applications for the role.
We are asking that over the next few weeks you include this in your daily prayers, that you pray God guides the right person to us to lead and support us on our journey in developing this Benefice.
Please pray:
- that God shows us the way forward by attracting a new priest.
- that God helps us to continue to build a vision of One Church Family across our many Parishes.
- for our Benefice, our individual churches, PCCs and the Team Council.
- that we embrace the journey he has mapped out for us and our Benefice.

Most of our churches have services based on Common Worship which aims to facilitate meaningful worship experiences for congregations, incorporating contemporary language and inclusive practices to engage modern worshipers.
For services in other churches please click on "Church Services Across Mid-Trent Team" to see our service rotas.
We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing.
