with confidence in the salvation
which is given
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We praise and thank you, O Christ,
for this sacred feast:

Announcement from the Bishop Deanery
Changes:
The current
Gartree First and Gartree Second deaneries are being reshaped. These will
remain two Deaneries with some adjustment of benefices between the two and will
be known as Gartree Deanery and Launde Deanery. These changes are subject to
the legal process being completed in due course. Bishop Martyn is pleased to announce
that The Revd Stephen Bailey, Priest in Charge (Team Rector Designate) in the
Oadby Team Ministry has been appointed also as Area Dean Designate of the
Gartree Deanery for an initial period of five years. Steve will step down from
his role as Warden of Readers. A process will begin to appoint a new Warden of
Readers in due course. At the point of the proposed change taking effect, The
Revd Alison Booker will cease to be Area Dean of Gartree Second and will
continue as Area Dean of Gartree First, which will be reshaped and renamed as
The Launde Deanery.
