Good news.  The advert for a permanent full time Priest in Charge is still live, but we have had five enquiries. Bishop Alan of Buckingham, pictured, is leading this interview process and will be following the legal requirements.

At the moment his PA, Catherine, is tracing the patrons of St Andrew’s and St Mary Magdalene, to see if they are still wanting to be Patrons, and therefore involved in the appointment. It will be September before this is sorted and shortlisting will take place on 5^th September (5pm – 6pm, to be held via Zoom), with interviews to follow on 6^th October, held locally in Milton Keynes.

Baptist Minister Post

The Trustees have agreed the paperwork needed to advertise the Baptist Minister post, as well as Lisa Kerry, the Regional Baptist Leader. The advert will be on our website and Facebook page very soon, so please spread the word.

This and much more news from across the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership can be found in the August newsletter available to download here.

It’s August next week and St Andrew’s Church, Great Linford, will be open on Sunday afternoons for teas and cakes.

The church will be open from 2 to 4pm on each of the four Sundays. Full details are on the poster, available to download here.
