Keeping Lucy and family in our prayers as she prepares for ordination

LUCY’S ORDINATION – SUNDAY 25th JUNE AT GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL


"I am thrilled to announce that Lucy Barbour will be ordained on Sunday 25th June at Gloucester Cathedral. She will then serve as a Pioneer Curate across the whole of our Benefice.


This is a self-supporting role (i.e. the Diocese is not paying her) and, as such, it is important for us to digest that she will be working on a part-time basis. However, it is wonderful that she can continue with us and further develop the work that God has called her to.


The service starts at 10.15am; however, the Cathedral has asked that everyone is present at least 45 minutes before the service starts, so by 9.30am. The service will last approximately 1.5 hours which will be followed by photos outside the Cathedral.


The service itself isn't particularly child friendly (i.e., there will be lots of words, it's long and it's not very interactive) but if children do get restless there is a creche or the cloisters to explore. Please let us know if you wish to register a child for the creche (email admin@stmichaelsbishopscleeve.co.uk or call 07354 874617).


Please join with me in praying for Lucy as she reaches this important milestone in her ministry."


Love, Tim
