SHIRLEY PARISH
​
KNOWING CHRIST, MAKING HIM KNOWN
Future Ministry in Shirley Parish
Some people find the time "between Vicars" a bit scary. Some find it challenging.
Some find it exciting.
In practice, it's probably a bit of a mixture of all three!
Over the period of Vacancy, we'll use this page to share information, so you know what's happening and why.
Please click here to find out more about the process for appointing a new Vicar, and how it will work in Shirley Parish.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Linda Pitt or Gill Hanton (Churchwardens), Sarah Penfold (Reader) or Rev Richard Haynes (Curate).
All the thoughts you have shared in writing or via the Contribution morning are now being considered as part of the process of drafting the new Parish Profile.
​
Please speak to any of the Parish Profile team (Linda P, Gill H, Sarah P, Richard H)
if you have any questions.​
​​​
Please pray regularly for the process, and for all those involved.
You may like to use this prayer...
Heavenly Father,
thank you that we are held together as a community in your love.
Let us be ready to share the good news of Jesus with those around us.
Strengthen us as we patiently wait as a parish,
remembering that your Son is the Good Shepherd
who will guide us along our future path.
May we gently encourage one another,
be quick to listen
and humbly reach out to support those in need.
With everlasting hope,
we trust in you alone to provide in this new season.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.
