Below is the message from Felicity announcing the appointment of our new Team Vicar, Oliver Harrison, who will be joining us in September. But if you want to know more about him “in his own words” just go to Our New Team Vicar
Dear Friends,
It is a great joy to announce that we have been able to appoint someone to join our clergy team as Team Vicar.
The Rev’d Oliver Harrison is currently vicar of Wilnecote in Tamworth (NE of Birmingham). As an experienced incumbent he has done a lot of work in schools and is passionate about children’s work. The interview panel was unanimous in wishing to appoint him and we are really looking forward to Oliver and his wife Jessica joining us. They also have two adult daughters.
Oliver has a lot to bring to the team and is a real people-person. He loves motorbikes and fly fishing too – and I guarantee he will make us all laugh!
There are no dates for arrival or licensing as yet but it is normal to give three months’ notice and then have a time of transition, so we are not planning a licensing in the near future – NOW LICENSING IS SET FOR 7PM ON THURSDAY 4TH SEPTEMBER IN ST MARY’S KIDLINGTON – ALL WELCOME.
This was announced in St Mary’s at our joint service on 23rd March and also in Holy Trinity Wilnecote.
Please pray for the parish of Holy Trinity Wilnecote as they prepare to say goodbye, and for Oliver, Jessica and their daughters.
A big thank you to everyone who helped with a very busy and complex interview day – it was a great team effort.
With every blessing
Felicity
