A message from Fr Jonathan

Dear all,

Some of you may recall that I used to be your vicar…..

On Sunday 4th September at 4:30pm I shall be instituted and inducted as Rector of St Botolph’s, Cambridge. Anyone who would like to come along is very welcome to attend, and I am deeply grateful for your prayerful support and kindness as I have sought the next move in my journey.

This, I well appreciate, is short notice indeed, but it would be very good to see old friends from Thorpe Bay. Should a coach be organised it might be worth noting that there is no drop off next to the church, but a ten minute walk instead from the Backs. It has been a long road to get to this point, but it feels the right next step, and twelve months of helping out in churches in and around Cambridge has reinforced my sense of calling to parish ministry.
With all good wishes
Jonathan
