Appointment of New Rector at Christ Church
The parish Wardens, and the Clergy Appointments Board members, are pleased to announce that, having received the CAB recommendation, Bishop Stuart has invited Patrick Cole to take up ministry as Priest-in-Charge here at Christ Church Hawker.
This appointment will not take effect until after Patrick completes his current ministry studies at St Marks National Theological Centre, his curacy this year at Christ Church, and his ordination to the priesthood, expected in late November. His formal induction is scheduled for 1 February 2011.
In the interim, we are delighted to confirm that Eric Burton has agreed to continue serving as Priest-in-Charge at Christ Church as part-time locum. The contribution made to the parish by Eric and Lynda has been enormous. Their commitment, encouragement and pastoral care have been felt and warmly appreciated by all. They have taken us to their hearts, and we have taken them to ours. The Wardens, together with Patrick and Wendy Bloomfield, warmly welcome Eric’s agreement to continue to serve us here, maintaining continuity for 2010 with the current ministry team, so ably led by Eric.
Until Patrick takes up his new role Eric will remain as acting rector and first point of contact on ministry matters.
Please continue to be in prayer for Eric, his ministry team, and the Wardens as we work together towards the future. Please also pray for Patrick as God continues to shape and equip him in every way to be the godly minister of the gospel, pastor and pray-er that we, the people of Christ Church, need as our future rector.
