Our Church

Welcome to the
Reverend
Gary Townsend

As you know, our new Rector, Gary Townsend begins his ministry here at the end of the month and I'm sure we all look forward to welcoming him to Mereworth. As a result of current Covid-19 restrictions, some alterations have been made to the plans we had for Gary's induction and institution. Gary will still be licensed to minister in our benefice on 30th January. Unfortunately, however, the public induction and institution service has had to be postponed until it is safe for us to hold services in church. The licensing will be conducted online, but will not be live-streamed.
