James Menzies to be licensed by Bishop Karen Gorham on 21 February as the new Team Vicar in the Weymouth Ridgeway Team. He will have particular responsibility for the life and worship of St Francis Littlemoor and the pastoral care of that community. He will continue in his role as Assistant Rural Dean of the Weymouth and Portland Deanery, and some time after Canon Tim West retires James will be 'rectified' to lead the Team. We look forward to this exciting new chapter in our lives.
A huge thank you to all who made the Christmas season so different and so special. We could sing with our hearts if not our voices, had opportunity for some quirky decorations, and enjoyed banter. The heart of the story with Jesus showing us God in human form was at the centre of all we did. This month we focus on signs of hope.
Use of our church buildings is permitted under 'lockdown 3' but, having monitored local case numbers, all Ridgeway church buildings are closed except for local arrangements allowing private prayer. Meanwhile a huge shout-out for those involve distributing, administering vaccines, and training people involved.
'Four candles' seeks new home as Canon Tim retires from ministry in April after 40 years of 'vicaring'. His Advent stole has plenty of life in it yet, so if you know a priest who would like it let him know!
