As announced by our Vicar, the Revd John Fry, in person in all churches of the Benefice on Sunday 4th August, following the interviews held in July he has accepted the offer of the Bishop of Bradwell to be the next Rector of the Epping Team Ministry, subject to the usual legal formalities. Subject to completion of the acquisition of the new Rectory, he will be licensed to his new role at the end of November.

Please hold all involved in your prayers through this time of transition.

As soon as it is possible to confirm John's last Sunday this will be passed on in services and on email.  The Wardens and PCCs will be working together to begin the process of discerning the person God calls to be the next Vicar of the Theydon Parishes once John has begun his new role.
