In the meantime a note from James
“It is such a privilege to be your Team Vicar here in the Stroud Team Ministry!
My wife, Sarah, and I are looking forward to getting to know you and to worship, live and work alongside you all for, what I hope, will be many years to come. Over the next few weeks and months there will be many opportunities for us meet and get to know each other I am sure but let me take this opportunity to let you all know a little about me first.
Sarah and I have been married for 26 years and we have two boys. Oliver, who 17 and just about to take his A levels, and Joshua 15 who – in between playing his guitar- is studying hard for GCSE exams next year”.
And something about Steve, whose ordination at Gloucester Cathedral is on June 19th with a live stream of the service from St Mathews starting at 9-30
Steve is 52 years old and is married with 3 grown up children. Steve works part time as a Religious Studies and Sociology teacher in Stroud.
