CHURCHWARDEN’S EXCITING UPDATE!

We have wonderful news for you all.

You will be as thrilled as we are to see that our vacancy at St James’s is now advertised on the Diocesan website.  Take a few moments to look at the vacancies on the Newcastle Diocese website (https://www.newcastle.anglican.org/vacancies/) ; you will not only  see an image of the church we love but you can also read the full role description for the post, our parish profile, and other key information for applicants. 

We have worked hard to get to this stage.  When we learnt that our Archdeacon, Peter Robinson, was leaving the Diocese in a matter of weeks we had serious concerns that our vacancy would drift and be forgotten.  To now see that the post is being advertised is a huge relief and we are sure that you will share in the joy we feel and pray for the next phase in St James’s role in our church and parish community.
