The River Ash Churches

WELCOME

You will find a warm welcome in all the churches of our Benefice, whatever your age or stage of Christian faith. Our aim is to be people who are living God's love as we go deeper into God, make new disciples of Jesus Christ and transform our communities.

Whether you are looking to join us on a regular basis or are looking for information about special events such as weddings and christenings (baptisms), you should find details on this website. You are also welcome to contact us by phone or email.

We are pleased to announce that the Revd Ibitayo (Tayo) Wale-Falope has accepted the post of Interim Minister for 1 year to support ministry across the Benefices of Braughing, Furneux Pelham, Stocking Pelham and Albury, Little Hadham, Much Hadham. Tayo will focus mainly on services on Sundays, with two additional days for preparation and other work, under the direction of Gaz Tracey as Area Dean and Fr Simon Vivian as Assistant Area Dean. This appointment is to support, encourage and enable ministry in a more consistent way than has been possible recently. This is not for someone to run the Benefices and Tayo will not be resident. Tayo will take up his role on Monday 15^th April 2024.

Please pray for Tayo, Yvonne and their children as he begins this new role with you, and for us all as we work together to make Christ known.

With best wishes,

+Jane
