A new Vicar for St Michael's

We are pleased to announce that a new vicar has been appointed for St. Michaels: Rev’d. Paul Scott (subject to completion of formalities). Paul is at present vicar of St. Mark Shiremoor where he has been in office since 2003. We look forward to Paul taking us forward into the future, to fulfill the aspirations outlined within our parish plan and to serve the needs of the people of Alnwick both spiritually and socially.

Please pray for both our new incumbent, and for the people of Shiremoor who will now be looking for someone to follow Paul and take them forward in their missionary journey.
