Last week, Bishop Mark Rylands announced that the Bishop of Lichfield’s office had appointed Rev. Andy Smith as the new area dean of Telford Deanery. Alongside Andy, Steve takes up the role of Assistant Area Dean.

Wikipedia has a good summary of the purpose and role of the area dean here if you’re interested!
It’s an exciting opportunity for Steve to be involved in the life of the wider church in Telford. It builds on the many good relationships between churches and their leaders. Please pray for Steve and Andy as they take up their new roles. And if you’d like to come along to the commissioning service, it will be on Monday 6th February, at 7pm in Meeting Point House in Telford (click here for directions).
