On Thursday, 30
October, the Revd Kim Ford was licensed as the new Priest in Charge of the
Great Glen group of parishes. She was also licensed as “Team Vicar Designate
of the Oadby Team” as it is intended to join Great Glen and Oadby in one team.
A number of
people from St Pauls therefore joined the service at St Cuthbert’s, which was
led by the Bishop of Leicester, Rt Revd Tim Stevens. Apart from people from the
local parishes of Great Glen, Burton Overy, Carlton Curlieu and Stretton Magna,
people came from Market Harborough, where she had served her Curacy, and there
were members of her wider family.
The congregation
made us very welcome, with a superb buffet afterwards.
We wish Kim God’s
every blessing and pray that he may bless her ministry abundantly as the
Kingdom of God grows in great Glen.
