At last there’s some potentially good news to report about the two ministerial vacancies in the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership.
A prospective applicant for the Baptist post has now visited the six church buildings in our Partnership as well as the Manse. The Trustees will organise an Interview Panel, formal interview, Preach with a View and a Church Meeting in April.
Meanwhile the advert for a Team Rector will go out on March 31 2024. Thank you to Paul Brookman, Bradwell Church, for his work on our Parish Profile. A Section 11 meeting will be part of the PCC meeting held before the next SEPC on March 21 2024.
An arts and heritage event will be held at St.James Church New Bradwell from 10.15am to 3.30pm on Wednesday March 20.
The event will celebrate the work of the Arts Society of North Bucks and their group of volunteer Church Recorders.
The event will include a lecture by Janet Gough, formerly Director of cathedrals and church buildings at the Church of England and a Director at Sotheby’s, with City and finance experience. Janet studied history and history of art at Cambridge and was awarded an OBE for services to heritage in the New Year’s Honours 2017 and in 2021 she became one of the first lay canons of Bangor Cathedral.
The event promises to be most interesting and informative so please do support it if you are able.
This and more information from across our Partnership can be found in this month’s bumper SEP newsletter available to download here.
