Helen Bence is appointed to Thurnby

The Bishop of Leicester announced last Sunday that The Revd Helen Bence is to be licensed as Associate Minister in the parish of Thurnby cum Stoughton.

Helen has been Team Vicar in the parish of Oadby for five years and has been instrumental in the growth of the thriving 8.00am congregation at St Peter's, in supporting St Peter's home groups and developing the Friends of St Peter's, as well as in many other significant ways.

Helen will continue as Convenor of the Gartree Mission Partnership of churches, so we will continue to benefit from her ministry and to see her regularly.

The date of the licensing has not yet been announced and it is likely to be early in the autumn term. We wish Helen every blessing in her new appointment and are grateful for all that she has done in Oadby.
