Our Parish in Vacancy
Our Vicar, Reverend Karen Hutchinson, left the parish on 1st January, 2012, following her last services that day. Her induction and Installation as Vicar of the United Benefice of The Bourne and Tilford took place on 2nd February, 2012.
All applicants for the living at Crondall & Ewshot will be provided with a Parish Profile (a picture of Crondall and Ewshot) and a Person Profile (the sort of vicar we are seeking to continue God's work in our parish). The finished documents have been adopted prior to advertising the post so that they can be sent to the applicants. A formal legal meeting (known as a Section 11 Meeting) for formal adoption took place on 5th January 2012. The post can now be advertised. The advert and parish profile can be downloaded here. The closing date for applications will be 6th March 2012.
This is a complicated process, but please feel assured that the PCC will keep everyone informed as developments take place."
In the meantime, all are encouraged to pray regularly our parish prayer:
God our Father,
You have called us through Jesus Christ to be His Body in this place.
Guide with your heavenly wisdom
those who are to choose a new incumbent for this parish.
Send us your Holy Spirit at this time of uncertainty and change,
to fill us with vision, energy and prayerfulness
that we may be true to our calling to bring new life to our community.
