Church of England clergy are charged with ministering to everyone in their parish, whether or not they regularly attend church, and offer invaluable support not only during life events such as weddings, funerals and christenings but also in a private way. It's very difficult to compensate for the lack of a vicar, particularly for those who need confidential support or the help of an ordained priest. However, the Church of England does have formal arrangements in place, and the PCC is working on additional, less formal, ways of seeking advice or just a listening ear. Please go to the separate 'Pastoral Care During the Vacancy' page, which will be updated as we make new arrangements.
We have just finished our new Mission Action Plan and a new Parish Profile. Please do look at these on their separate pages; they are an essential part of our search for a new vicar, but also useful in their own right as ways of helping us to focus on our ongoing purpose as a parish church.<br>
