Posted: Sun, 14 Dec, 2025 (2 weeks ago) by Alan
This morning it was announced that:
Bishop Jane is delighted to say that after a successful interview earlier this week and with unanimous agreement the Revd Kirsty Long has been offered and accepted the post of Rector for the Mattishall and Tudd Valley benefice.
A date for the licensing service has yet to be agreed but it is likely to be in the spring.
In the meantime, please pray for Kirsty and her husband Stuart as they make arrangements to say goodbye and make preparations to move into the benefice.
Those us who met Kirsty on the interview day last Thursday are also delighted and look forward with relish to Kirsty and Stuart joining us.
Thanks be to God!

Advertising for new Incumbent
Posted: Sat, 18 Oct, 2025 (2 months ago) by Alan
Tomorrow (Monday 20th October 2025) should see a new advert placed on the diocesan website and the national Church of England website as we have our third attempt at getting a new incumbent. When those are actually in place, we'll add links to them here. In the meantime, you can see the new benefice profile, which will form part of that advertising. It can be opened or downloaded HERE.
The exact wording of an advert to go in the Church Times, both online and in the actual newspaper, is being checked, but will also be put on our website when done.

Dear Friends at All Saints - Mattishall,
Thank you so much for your kind gift of £200.00 to strengthen your persecuted church family around the world who are risking it all to follow Jesus. Thanks to your prayers and support, our brothers and sisters know they are not alone and can stand strong in their faith.
Since becoming Christians, Rambabu and his wife have encountered rejection and threats from their tribal community. But they are standing strong in Jesus, and your support for them through aid distribution is an answer to their prayers, further strengthening their faith.
“Thank you for identifying with people like us who are in pain, suffering and trouble, and for comforting us,” says Rambabu. “You have showed us God’s love not only through your words, but also through your deeds to feed us and our children. My heartfelt gratitude to you all. Please continue to pray for us and we will also pray for you.”
May the Lord fill you with His Spirit and surround you with His love.
Your sister in Christ,
Henrietta
