On Sunday 18th June it was announced that I am to leave both parishes in the autumn. I have been appointed to serve as the Vicar for the Associated Benefice of Melbourn and Meldreth in the Diocese of Ely.
It is planned that I will be inducted and installed into the Benefice on the 1st of November 2023, and therefore my duties in the parish will conclude in mid-October
This has not been an easy decision for me to make, but I hope that in time, you will recognize and understand the reasons for my decision to move on.
There are almost 4 months between the announcement and my departure, I remain committed to continuing the projects we have running at the moment and helping you, as a parish, to prepare for the future.
Please also be assured of my thoughts and prayers as I know that such an announcement can create a period of uncertainty.
The PCC will be meeting in the coming weeks, where we will discuss my departure and the future of the parish. I will seek to update you after that meeting which will be held in the 2nd week of July as I am on leave from 26th June to 8th July.
With Best Wishes
Fr Andrew.
