Monday, 20th July saw the Collation of Rev Dr Noel Phillips as Rector of the
Parish of Curdworth, Middleton and Wishaw via zoom.

The service included an address from the Bishop, the Right Reverend David Urquhart. Noel was presented to the Bishop by the Area Dean, Rev Ann Richardson, and Noel stated that he was ready and willing to accept the responsibility of serving as the Rector of Curdworth, Middleton and Wishaw, with ‘both its duties and its joys’! Then followed the Declaration and
Oaths where Noel was asked to declare his allegiance to the faith and to the
Queen and obedience to the Bishop. The Bishop read Noel’s licence, which
gives him the responsibility for the ‘cure of souls’ of this parish, and blessed
him and his ministry in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Despite being a ‘remote’ service, those who were present were able to
participate and witnessed a very special and important moment for all of us,
but especially for Noel and his family. We welcome Noel, Jenny, Ellie and Thomas to the Parish and look forward to when they are able to move into the Rectory and be actually here, not just
remotely! We hope they will be very happy.

Sunday, 26th July, will be Noel’s first Sunday as Rector of the Parish of Curdworth, Middleton and Wishaw and he will be conducting a service at 10.30am from his present home in Coventry via zoom. Many of you are familiar with zoom by now, but in case you are not, we will publish some guidelines and the details needed to join on the service.

With the appointment of the Rev Dr Noel Phillips as the new Rector of the Three in One Parish s of Curdworth, Wishaw and Middleton, our period of Interregnum has finally come to an end.

Noel and his family have recently completed there move into the Rectory and, while there are things still to do, he is now formally in place. You will see him out and about in the Parish so please do say “Hello”

We are living in strange times and, although some limited Services are recommencing, it will be a while yet before things get back to normal or, at least a sort of normal.
