We are looking forward to Revd Rachel Ford moving to our parish as our new VIcar in the near future. She will be licensed by the Bishop on Wednesday the 5th July at 7pm and taking up her duties after that. All our friends from Rawdon and the surrounding area are invited to come along to give Revd Rachel a very warm welcome.The service will be followed by refreshments in Jubilee Hall.Please pray for her and for her family, husband Alex and her two daughters as they prepare to move house and start their ministry among us.
The working group is making good progress with the necessary applications to the Diocese and for grant funding to support the up-grade of St Peter’s Room, which will include the Parish Office, the toilet facility, the kitchenette and a disabled ramp. The architect’s drawings are being finalised and costs worked out. Shortly, the work will be put out to tender and it is anticipated that building work will commence before the end of 2023, though it is expected to take up to 9 months to complete. A flyer to promote the project and hopefully, encourage financial support from friends of the church, will be distributed soon. There will be disruption to the running of this area of church and adaptations will be needed but we are flexible and we will work round the problems!You can download the plans (see download button above) and they are also on display in the church porch.
