Susan's Departure

It was announced in Church on Sunday 24th May by Bishop Mark that Susan is to leave us at the end of June to take up an appointment as a Team Vicar within the Heywood Team. 

She will have special responsibility for St Margaret, Heywood and St George, Heap Bridge.  After a Team reorganisation she will become Priest in Charge of a new Benefice of St Margaret with St George.

Susan’s last Sunday at Holy Trinity will be 21 June. 

There will be a combined service for St John & St Barnabas here at Hey on Sunday 28 June 
followed by a faith brunch / lunch.

We have a provisional date for her licensing at St Margaret’s on 22nd July – details later.

We congratulate Susan on her appointment and wish her, Allan and Jonathan well.
