IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

We are pleased to announce that the Bishop, with the support of the Society for the Maintenance of the Faith, has invited the Reverend Canon Graham Morris to be Priest in Charge of All Saints’ Ryde and St. Michael and All Angels Swanmore, subject to legal preliminaries.

Graham is currently the incumbent at Holy Trinity Ventnor, St. Catherine Ventnor and Bonchurch.

His licensing date will be announced as soon as possible.

In the meantime, please pray for Graham and his wife Angela as they prepare to move, and for the congregations they will be leaving.

The Bishop thanks all those, including the PCCs of these two churches, for their involvement in the appointment process.

On February 18th there will be the Annual District Meeting of the IW District of the Winchester and Portsmouth Guild of Church Bell Ringers (quite a mouthful!). This will include a short Service at 6.30 p.m. conducted by Canon Howard, to which all are invited.
