Announcement about the future ministry at St Michael's 

During our time in vacancy this year the Parochial Church Council and the congregation have been in a period of discernment, in consultation with the Diocese, about the future vision for ministry at St Michael's. 

The Diocese has now offered us the opportunity to enter into a trial period of a partnership with St Mary's Church in Camberley, with the Incumbent at St Mary's, Revd Andrew Knowles, being also named as Priest in Charge at St Michael's. Our PCC has discussed and prayed about this and has unanimously approved the recommendation. The PCC of St Mary's has also unanimously approved it. Both churches are in the financial position of not being able to fully fund our respective Parish Share payments to the Diocese, and a partnership arrangement would allow for the costs of clergy provision to be shared. The trial period will start in January and the arrangements will be subject to periodic review. 

 During our vacancy we have been much blessed by the support of Revd Andrew Knowles and Revd Sue Duplock from St Mary's, along with other clergy from within and outside the Deanery, and we have enjoyed shared worship with St Mary's on several occasions.  There is good synergy between our two churches and both PCCs are looking forward to the opportunity that this trial partnership will provide to explore ways to support and strengthen our two faithful communities as we seek to serve God in Camberley. We are pleased to confirm a commitment to continuing to hold two services at St Michael's each Sunday. 

 Please support us with your prayers and, if you have any questions, please talk to a PCC member.
