East Trent Churches

Priest in Charge: Reverend David Milner

Welcome to Our Website . . .

www.anglicancollinghamchurches.org.

Welcome to the July, 2010 (Edition FP 2010.07.h) of our East Trent Churches website The Change of title illustrating the unique growth of our Benefice to include 11 churches along the East Trent area of Nottinghamshire is now completed. All the parishes are now served by the Revd David Milner, and it is believed that this may be the largest number of parishes under the leadership of one priest. Everyone is working enthusiastically to make the venture successful. SO FAR IT'S CERTAINLY HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION . . .

There is a hidden Lamb on every page. Let your Mouse help you find the Lamb!

Sunday June 6 – Bishop Paul visited several of the East Trent group of churches, starting by inaugurating David as 'Priest in Charge' of the eleven churches.

More Information on The Grapevine . . .

This was a very special and important occasion. Lots of people made the effort to be there (on a rainy day) and be a part of it – it may never happen again!
Looking back to the memorable Bishop’s Visit on June 6. We would like to have a photographic record of the day. If you took any photos or you know someone else who did, we would be really pleased to have copies of them. They can be left at the Rectory with your name and please indicate if they are copies or originals from which we can take copies. Thank you.

Here is the congregation at the Group Service of Thanksgiving and Commissioning for the Benefice (wardens, sidespersons, PCCs and committee members, choir, and friends) on a Sunday evening at St John the Baptist Church Collingham.

Here is another great smile. A thought provoking little piece our late photographer David Collins found on his travels to Cadeby in Leicestershire (on the Church door next to the late Revd Tubby Clayton's steam Museum) . . .! Click to see full picture (then press <== top left to return).

David Collins (our late Hon. Site Photographer) described this as a 'Grab Shot'! However it is described, it's a warm welcome to the East Trent Churches group and to our website. Click to fully appreciate the scene . . . (then press <== top left to return)
