A Message from our Rector,

Rev. Philip Stevens.

 

 

"This is my first week as Priest in Charge of Bleadon (and also of the Parish of St Andrew, Bournville).  I thank everyone who has helped to make my removal smooth and my Licensing such a happy and memorable occasion.  I look forward to meeting and getting to know you all in the church and the village.

 

"Bleadon Church is for everyone in the village , whether they attend regularly or not.  In the same way I am commissioned as a priest to serve everyone who lives here, and to encourage everyone on their journey of faith, whether as part of the congregation or not.

 

"I am happy to respond to requests for support  at various times along life's journey: in the tough times like sickness, redundancy, bereavement, death;  in the happy times like chidbirth, baptism, confirmation, marriage and celebrations; or just whenever you want a listening ear to think things through or make big decisions.  I am happy to offer support when you want to consider community service or political action.

 

"I look forward to working with you

 

"God be with you,

 

Philip"
