AUGUST / SEPTEMBER 2019 ELEVEN SAYS ISSUE 278 11 THE NEWSPAPER OF THE BRAMERTON GROUP OF CHURCHES COVERING 11 PARISHES Good News and Thank You! Following the announcement that The Revd Canon Nick Garrard, currently Rector of the Broadside Benefice in this Diocese, has been appointed to the post of Priest in Charge of the Bramerton Group (Rockland) and Bishop's Officer for Christian Spirituality through the Creative Arts, it is very appropriate to express our welcome of this news and to wish Nick and his family well as they prepare to leave their current ministry and make the transition into a new one. On behalf of the Group may I also say how very grateful we are to the Revd Mandy Ansell for all that she has done to support the Rockland Benefice of churches during the interregnum, to Brian for his understanding and support and all who have given their time and energy to maintain and further the worship, ministry and mission in the benefice.
