Church News November 2026
Our new Associate Priest - Emma Barr
As you will see in 'upcoming events', there will be service on December 7th when Emma becomes ‘licensed’ to serve the 6 churches – Great and Little Tey, Chappel and Wakes Colne, Aldham and Marks Tey. This is an important day for Emma and all 6 communities as this is the moment when Emma has formal authority from the Bishop to serve the 6 churches as Associate Priest.
Emma, in her first month, has brought new energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. Young and old cannot but feel uplifted, happier and strengthened after attending a service where Emma is present.
Come along and see for yourself!
