‘The parish is now in vacancy as the Rev. Steve Short has moved to a new parish. During the vacancy, a ministry team of Clergy and Readers will maintain the pattern of services.

Appointing a new vicar
It seems a long time since Steve Short moved on but the pattern of worship at the churches in the Benefice is being maintained by the ministry staff (all volunteers).
The appointed representatives of the four churches are working with the Archdeacon of Derby City and South Derbyshire to prepare information to be sent to applicants for the post and to plan the advertising and appointment process. Further information when we have it.
