Bringing together the five churches: Parish reorganisation
On Friday (7th May) we received important news about the longstanding proposal to bring our five churches together. The Church Commissioners have decided to proceed with the setting up of our new ‘Little Stour Benefice’ incorporating us all, in which Ickham, Wickhambreaux and Stodmarsh would unite to form a single parish.
There is one further hurdle: those who offered objections to the proposal have until June 21th to lodge appeals. If none is received we hope that we can then move forward together, with BenCom working with Archdeacon Jo to appoint a resident priest to serve us.
The Revd Prebendary Gillean Craig
HOW TO MAKE CONTACT

A prayer for the evening for all those affected by the virus
Keep us, good Lord,under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious,
be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may find comfort
knowing that nothing can separate us from your love
in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen
