“A big hello to all of you at St Andrews. I am very much lookingforward to taking up the post of Vicar of St Andrew’s church in September, and having the opportunity to minister with and amongst you all in the mission of proclaiming the love of Christ in Great Cornard. I am married to Tracy and we have four children: Bethany, Jordan, Daniel and Joshua; we also include in our family Scooby the dog, Squeek the cat and Pixie the hamster. I am completing my curacy in the benefice of Saxmundham with Kelsale cum Carlton, having started here three years ago after finishing my training at St John’s College, Nottingham. Tracy and I both hail from Ipswich where I used to work in the computer industry, primarily for BT. We don’t know the area around Great Cornard very well, but are really looking forward to moving down over the summer and getting to know it better – if you see us around, be sure to say hello!. We are of course sad to be leaving Saxmundham, but are excited about meeting all of you in the months to come and beginning this next stage in ministry in Great Cornard.”
