Interregnum
Following the departure of the Reverend Malcolm Ingham, The Knightley Benefice is now in interregnum, that is, without a vicar. The church wardens of all five parishes have agreed a rota for our services from now until we have a new incumbent. Please look at the website for the detail, but Badby’s broad plan for each month is as follows:-
1st Sunday: 11am Holy Communion taken by a priest in St. Mary’s.
2nd & 4th Sundays: 11am Morning Worship taken by a member of the Ministry Team in St. Mary’s; with Holy Communion available elsewhere in the benefice.
3rd Sunday: 10am Holy Communion taken by a priest in each church in turn.
5th Sunday: 10am Holy Communion taken by a priest in Fawsley.
Evening Service of the Word
This short service is held once a month on the Tuesday evening following the third Sunday at St Mary’s Badby at 6.30pm. There is always a brief talk about someone inspirational. All welcome! The next dates are 21 May and 18 June.
