I have been asked by Bishop Nigel to announce today that Tricia will be leaving us as she has been appointed as Priest in Charge of Martlesham with Brightwell subject to the completion of legalities. Information about the licensing date will follow.

We want to congratulate Tricia on her appointment as I am sure she will be a very able Incumbent and the Parishes of Martlesham and Brightwell will offer many opportunities to use her many gifts both within the churches and also in the wider community. We will of course be thanking her more formally for her ministry here in due course. Her time with us has been appreciated by many especially at the 9.00 & mid week congregations and by the leaders of the small groups. Her pastoral work has been especially appreciated much of which has often been hidden from view and her hospitality has been second to none!

I am sure you will join me in wishing her well and praying for her and the team at Martlesham and Brightwell.
