Appointment of new
Vicar at St. Andrew's
by
Adrian Smith, Webmaster and Communications Officer
6 May
2007
The
Churchwardens are delighted to announce the appointment of Revd. Jim
Cox as the new Vicar of St. Andrew's Church, Taunton. Jim, 41,
is currently the Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Parish of the
Resurrection, Smethwick. He is married to Doreen, a Consultant
Radiologist, and they have three children, one who will shortly be
starting university, and two of whom are at primary school. If all
goes to plan, the family will move into the Vicarage in August in
time for the start of the new school term.
Jim's institution at St. Andrew's will take place on Tuesday 2
October 2007 with The Bishop of Taunton.
We
will be publishing more information about our new Vicar and his
family on this website in the near future, together, we hope, with a
photograph.
All of
us at St. Andrew's extend the warmest of welcomes to Jim, Doreen and
family, and look forward to getting to know them later in the
summer.
The
following prayer was used at our morning services on Sunday 6 May.
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your blessings on us during this
time of vacancy. We continue to pray for June and Stephen our
Churchwardens, and for all members of our PCC.
We
pray for Jim Cox, his wife, Doreen, and their family as they begin
preparations for their move to Taunton.
Be
with us all and guide is with your Holy Spirit so that your will may
be done in and through this church and our community.
We
ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
