Message from the Churchwarden
As I am sure that everyone is now aware after nearly six years as Priest-in-Charge at St. Andrew's in Oving,
Fr. Trevor Marshall left us at the end of May to move to St. Nicholas in Middleton-on Sea and we all wish him every success in his new posting and thank him for his dedication to our Parish during his time with us.
We are now unfortunately once again in an interregnum situation and I will try to keep everyone up to date as best as I can but I do not think that we will b e getting a replacement for Fr. Trevor in the short term.
We are, very fortunately being supported at this time by some very loyal retired clergy for which we are all extremely grateful.
Best wishes
Tony Barnard
Churchwarden, St. Andrew's Church, Oving
