  • Tring Team Parish Profile for Part Time Team Vicar 2016
    Tring Team Parish Profile for part time Team Vicar 2016 Tring Team Parish General Information Summary The Tring Team Parish consists of five churches on the edge of the Chilterns. Tring itself is a market town of 14,000 with the church of St Peter and St Paul, and there are four village churches: All Saints, Long Marston; St Cross, Wilstone; St Mary’s, Puttenham; and St John the Baptist, Aldbury, all of which have a modern liberal outlook, but worship in a wide range of styles. As a parish we have been working with Tring School over a number of years as a central part of our mission. The school has 1,500 students of whom very few come from a worshipping background. This puts us in an interesting place where there is genuine crossover between the church and the secular world, with new insights and challenges coming from this dynamic. This is central to our mission and we are working out how to engage with new families whilst keeping faith with those who have grown up in the church. We are located in the Chilterns in an area of outstanding natural beauty, where Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire meet as the Chiltern Hills merge into the Vale of Aylesbury. The A41 links to the M25 eleven minutes away and the frequent train service Tring Station to Euston making the area a very successful and extremely buoyant residential location. There is much encouraging activity happening in our churches and many things to celebrate. We have some huge congregations across the Team (c6,500 attending all Christmas services, 800+ people in our

  • Newsletter November 1984
    November 1984 Some days you win 1. The events and activities programme each year has covered a remarkably varied range of subjects. The program is a tradition and the Association's contribution to the social / cultural life of the Town. The support it gets is also remarkably diverse and unpredictable. Some events have had satisfyingly large audiences, others the reverse. We just have to take it in our stride and try, difficult as it is, to maintain the variety and calibre of speakers. It is the same with the rambles - always a feature of our annual programme with New Year, Easter and Autumn being the occasions for an organised potter round a different corner of our countryside. The Autumn Ramble is nearly always the best because of the colours in the trees. Three weekends before and one weekend after the 'Sunday of our Ramble', were each sunny and warm. On the day, however, it rained. You can't win them all! 2. But don't miss this The talk by Richard Page M.P. was well attended and an interesting evening, with lots of questions. Our thanks have been Given to Richard for giving us his time, particularly on a Friday evening of a precious weekend, Our next event promises to be equally but differently interesting. Mr Charles Driver - Headmaster of Berkhamsted School will talk on 'Justifying the Future' on Thursday 29 November at 8pm at the Sessions Hall. Friday 14 December at 8pm at the Sessions Hall is the date and time of our winter social gathering - to sing carols and sip a glass of wine (or two) together with Mince pies.
