●   Following the resignation of our Rector - the Parish Churches are now in an interregnum, which means that we will be without a resident rector until a new minister is appointed.

During the interregnum our Sunday services will continue at the usual times, with the worship being alternately led either by a visiting priest, or a member of our lay ministry team.

are grouped together, forming a Benefice, located in South Northamptonshire and in the Diocese of Peterborough.

We hope, in the following pages, to provide all the information you may need to find and share with us.

We believe that God has begun to bring His Kingdom on earth, as it is in Heaven. Please join us,in prayer, asking that we might see more.

We look forward to welcoming you to join a service of worship or one of our many regular events.

We've had to change the pattern of services due to floods, fractures and family commitments.

The other benefices in our Deanery have had such a pattern for a while and have found it to be fruitful and beneficial, and we pray that this will be an encouraging time for everyone here.

Thank you so much for your understanding and we'll continue to pray and review as the weeks go on.

Archbishop of York
welcomes 'Fourth House' website
built by survivors

BY FRANCIS MARTIN AND
HATTIE WILLIAMS 28 APRIL 2022

A NEW website has been created by two survivors of clerical abuse to support other survivors and inform Church of England bishops, dioceses, and the National Safeguarding Team.

The website, houseofsurvivors.org, collates guides, books, newspaper articles, documentaries, survivor initiatives, papers, and reviews.

The name alludes to the General Synod's Houses of Bishops, Clergy, and Laity.
The website states: "A fourth House exists, long unrecognised, which has done more to drive necessary change in the Church's structures and cultures."
