Our Future

Our vicar, Bob Peck has retired and we will be going through the Church of England processes to appoint a new vicar. Please pray for our church and its leaders (and especially for Bob and Jenny as they leave us). Please pray that the right person for St Martin’s can be found.

The process and timetable are explained in the Letter from the Archdeacon (pdf file). The requirements for the position of vicar are set out in the Parish Profile and Statement of Needs (pdf file)
