VACANCY
As you know with Robert’s retirement earlier last year, Aldenham is now in ‘Vacancy’. The search for a new priest has been progressing and the Advertisement has appeared in the Church Times and Diocesan Websites. Unfortunately this did not produce any viable candidates and the process will now be repeated.
The Church Profile , put together by the PCC was approved by Bishop Jane and Archdeacon Charles; likewise the advertisement currently appearing in the Church Times. They can both be seen on these links:

Repair and renewal of the boundary wall.
The boundary wall adjacent to the road is in a very poor state of repair with sections about to collapse. The estimate for it’s refurbishment is around £30,000 and involves the repointing of it all on both sides and rebuilding of some sections. We have been successful in obtaining a grant of £15,000 towards the cost of this and again your generosity has covered some of the extra cost but not all. The work won’t be carried out until the Spring so we have a little more time yet to recoup the cost.
Streaming our Sunday morning service
Our 10.30 Sunday service is streamed live and remains available for at least 2 weeks on a YouTube link.
This is sent to the Electoral Roll and those that have signed up for regular information. If you would like to join us as well, please sign up for this link using the form opposite or email us.
