The Rev Phil Dunning.

The future of the Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership is looking brighter following the successful services to mark the arrival of Team Rector, the Rev Chi Okpala, and the Rev Phil Dunning who will take on the Vision Enabler role.

In addition looking further afield, the post of Area Dean has now been filled as Paul Oxley takes on the vacancy left by the departure of Tim Norwood. Back in the Partnership the congregation at St Andrew’s, Great Linford, now has a Congregational Leadership Team.

Full details about this news and much more can be found in the October Partnership newsletter. Thank you to SEPC chair Sharron Marland for her work on this and John Porter for producing the letter. To read the newsletter please download here.

After three years of waiting Stantonbury Ecumenical Partnership will welcome its new Team Rector and Team Leader on Wednesday September 4 when the Rev Chi Okpala will be licensed.

Less than two weeks later our new Baptist Minister and Vision Enabler, the Rev Phil Dunning will be welcomed at a service at Christ Church, Stantonbury. Phil and his family have already moved into their new home at Bradwell Church House.

Both Chi and Phil are keen to work together to re-energise our Partnership.

Full details of the services can be read in the September SEP newsletter which can be downloaded here.
