  • Wednesday 16Th October 2019 Dear Friends, Following My Recent Announcement That the Venerable David Picken Will Be Moving on In
    Wednesday 16th October 2019 Dear Friends, Following my recent announcement that the Venerable David Picken will be moving on in mid-January 2020 to take up his new appointment as the Archdeacon of Lancaster, I can now confirm the interim arrangements which will enable a smooth transition until a new archdeacon is appointed. The Revd Canon Mark Adams, Vicar of the Beck & Trent Benefice and currently Area Dean for Southwell & Newark in the Newark Archdeaconry, has agreed to be interim Assistant Archdeacon for the Newark archdeaconry with a particular focus on providing support to Area Deans as well as in managing the appointment process with parishes in vacancy. The Venerable Phil Williams, Archdeacon of Nottingham, will support the Newark Archdeaconry in relation to any statutory archidiaconal matters that arise, though Mark will be the first point of contact. I am pleased to let you know that The Revd Andrew Porter, Vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Southwell will act as Assistant Area Dean for Newark & Southwell during this interim period. There will be a handover period for David, Mark and Andrew through December, prior to David’s last day on 16th January. Please note that there will be a Farewell Service in Southwell Minster on Wednesday 15th January, at 7.30pm, to give thanks for David’s ministry in the diocese and pray for him and Cathy as they prepare for God’s new calling for them to serve in the Diocese of Blackburn. May I take this opportunity to express my thanks to both Mark and Andrew for the gifts they will bring during this interim period.

    A Service of Celebration and Renewal Saturday 10 April 2021 10.30am Welcome to Southwell Minster As you prepare for worship, please be sensitive to the needs of those around you who may wish to pray in silence. Please switch off mobile telephones and do not use photographic, video or recording equipment at any time. A loop system is in operation throughout the Minster. Hearing aids that are equipped to do so should be switched to the ‘T’ position or the loop setting appropriate to your equipment. Large print orders of service are available. Please ask a Churchwarden, Sidesman or Verger for a copy. Please speak to a Verger if you need to use the toilet facilities. We are a Fairtrade cathedral, committed to continuing and increasing our use of fairly traded goods wherever possible. The congregation is invited to join in all texts printed in bold. This service is led by The Very Revd Nicola Sullivan, Dean of Southwell. The preacher is the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, The Rt Revd Paul Williams. The organ is played by James Furniss-Roe, Organ Scholar. Due to current restrictions there will be no collection at this service; however, donations are greatly appreciated and can be made at www.frameworkha.org. Thank you for your support. Face coverings are currently required in places of worship, so please wear one inside the Cathedral unless you have a medically recognised reason not to do so. Thank you for providing your name and contact details when you registered for or arrived at this service. This measure is in support of the NHS’s Test and Trace pro- gramme.
