Whilst we are ‘In Vacancy’ (i.e. no vicar!)
Matthew 6:34: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own’.
Whilst we are ‘In Vacancy’, please remember that we have a wonderful team of retired Priests, Licensed Worship Assistants, Churchwardens and Stewards who are here to support you as best they can. Please do not hesitate to contact them if something is troubling you, you need pastoral or practical help, or you need more information about what is going on. Nicki Edwards is the Benefice/Diocesan coordinator, who, in liaison with everyone across all the churches in the Benefice, is working hard to produce the Benefice profile that needs to be put together before advertising for a new Priest in Charge. You will be asked your thoughts in due course, and it is really hoped that everyone can contribute and feel part of the process.
Meanwhile, do feel confident that the church team around you are here to give you any assistance and guide you as best they can.
The Benefice Team.

Milborne Benefice is in a vacancy
The Milborne Benefice is now in a vacancy and we will be advertising for a Priest in due course. Further details will be announced when the appointment process begins.
In the meantime we will be relying on retired priests to take services. The Churchwardens are responsible for ensuring that services are held and, with the PCCs, to ensure that the life of the church is maintained.
Rev Rona's last Sunday was on 16th August and you can see photos of that day which included a special Holy Communion service followed by a barbecue on the Church House lawn.
