Welcoming Graham and Anouk

6/7/2021

Last weekend was a special weekend for us and for our new curate Graham Dunn.  On Saturday 3rd July he was ordained deacon in the splendour of St Paul’s Cathedral by the Bishop of London, The Rt Hon & Rt Revd Dame Sarah Mullally.  Covid restrictions meant that the congregation was limited, but it was still, as Graham said,  “a wonderful and joyous occasion”.  Many of us watched the live stream of the service on YouTube.

Then on 4th July it was our chance to welcome both Graham (at all four services) and his wife Anouk. We were also pleased to welcome members of his family and friends who came to support him.  A welcome with bubbly had been planned but Covid restrictions on gatherings don’t allow this just yet but – as Jeremy promised –  we will make up for this later!

We are looking forward very much to getting to know both Graham and Anouk.
