Welcome Change and Faith! Recent visiting Priests and Lay Readers have explained that the Lessons and Gospels have been focussed on a period of change for Jesus’ disciples and pointed out the essential skill they all require is faith. In Kings Park we have experienced change and shown faith! We have had a vacancy for 14 months but in early 2015 we successfully engaged a new priest. Our last five priests have been employed on a part-time basis, but our faith has been shown in the recruitment of a full-time priest. We had no rectory to offer the new priest but, after many house viewings, we have purchased a detached house with views of the “Dear Green Place”, and only a few miles from St Oswald’s. By the time you read the magazine, the licensing service will have taken place and a resume will follow in next month’s edition. We hope the sun will shine, the church will be full of friends and family from near and far and we will have extended a warm welcome to Rev Lesley-ann Craddock and her husband Ashley, not forgetting the two family dogs. We wish them a long and happy time at St Oswald’s.
