A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE VICAR - I will be taking study leave from 2nd February - 6th May 2008.  During this time I will not be available for parish duties.  Contact for general queries from 2nd February, will be:

          Ledbury Team Office                   01531 631531

          The Rev'd Paul Dunthorne              01531 632571 (Team Rector)

          The Rev'd Howard Mayell                   01531 631530 (Team Vicar)

 

For emergencies or particular parish enquiries:

          The Rev'd Nicky Seabright          01531 640252

          The Rev'd David Good            01531 636474

or if neither Nicky or David is available:

          The Rev'd Peter Hammersley          01432 890609

          The Rev'd John Watkins                 01431 890595

 

John and Nicky are non-stipendiary, and devote their 'spare' time to parish ministry.  David and Peter have retired from full-time paid ministry, but readily agree to work when required.  Within the eight parishes for which I have the care this is on a regular basis.

 

Other ministers are also involved with the organisation of the parishes, especially Sunday Worship. They are Licensed Readers - Mrs Celia Wargent, Mrs Linde Melhuish and Dr Sandy Lockwood - also Lay Minister, Mr Ray Honey.  In addition there are members of a Ministry Development Group - Mrs Rosamond Preedy, Mrs Debbie Davies, Mr Steve McRae, Mrs Margaret Lockwood - who work across the 8 Hop Church parishes in other ways. 

 

Without the support of them all we would not have such lively churches.

My grateful thanks.
Sue Strutt
