New Rector Announced ...

David Howden, Churchwarden, has made the following announcement to the congregations today (Sunday 1st November 2009).

I have the authority of the The Right Rev'd Martin Wallace, Bishop of Selby, to make this announcement at all services held in the Parish on the 1st November.

Bill and I, as Parish representatives and churchwardens, have been working very closely with the Bishop of Selby and the Archdeacon of York during this Interregnum and we are delighted to announce that an appointment has been made to this benefice.

The Reverend Peter David Watson, who is at present the assistant Curate of Boston Spa, Thorpe Arch and Walton, has been appointed as the new Rector of the Parish of Brayton.

He is married to Charlotte and they have three girls Meg aged 8 years, Evie aged 7 in a couple of weeks and Molly aged 4 years

As churchwardens, Bill and I are delighted with this appointment and hope that we shall see the family moving to Brayton over the Christmas school holidays with a Collation and Induction in late January.

We trust you will all remember Pete, Charlotte, Meg, Evie and Molly in your prayers as they plan this move to come and join us here in Brayton.
