We are delighted to announce that we have appointed a new Vicar – Revd Canon Robert (Rob) McLaren, subject to completion of legal formalities.  He is currently Vicar of St George with St Martin, Poynton.  See STOP PRESS for more details.   The announcement has been made simultaneously in both our parishes on Sunday 9th June.

Rob will be joining us in late autumn. Alastair and I believe that we have found a very enthusiastic and experienced Vicar for St Luke’s and we look forward to welcoming him and his wife to Holmes Chapel.  

During June, Sunday services will be taken by Graham Joyce and we are pleased to welcome Rick Gates again on 16th June.  Wednesday services will be led by Martin Oram, Alan Overend and Graham Joyce.

The consultation for outline planning permission submitted by the Diocese to Cheshire East Council for a new purpose-built vicarage has now closed.   The Council is due to make a decision on the proposal on 4th June.

We are delighted with the appointment of our new Vicar and look forward to introducing him to you all.

Thank you.
