An exciting opportunity to be part of the Kent Downs and Malling Team of churches.

17/02/2025

This morning, in all of our parish churches in the Kent Downs and Malling Team, the following announcement was made:

"The Bishop of Rochester is delighted to announce that The Revd Kelly Parsons is to be appointed as the new Priest in Charge of the Parish of St Bartholomew’s Otford, with a plan to be licenced later in May.
Kelly trained for ordination part time at St Augustine’s in West Malling whilst working full time for Hadlow College. After training she served her curacy firstly in the Benefice of West Malling and Offham and later extending the curacy to the seven parishes of the newly formed Kent Downs and Malling Team.
Kelly is excited to be called to travel with St Bart’s on the next stage of their journey as they look to strengthen existing community relationships and explore their missional calling through community engagement and pastoral care.
Please pray for Kelly and Michael and their three adult children Rebecca, Jack and Olivia as preparations are made to move from their family home in Hadlow and for Kelly to begin her
new ministry in Otford.
Kelly’s final Sunday in the Kent Downs and Malling Team will be on the 27th of April. Kelly, Michael and their spaniel Jasper hope to move into St Bart’s Vicarage at the beginning of May."
More details will follow in due course, including plans for Kelly's last service.

Have you recovered from Sunday yet?

As the Greens get ready to move parish, we thought you would like to know that the lovely Heidi of Heidi Easby Photography very kindly took photographs of Rev David's leaving service and has created a gallery for everyone to see.

In addition, the service was live-streamed from St Mary's Church, West Malling and you can still catch-up and watch it if you weren't able to be with us on the day.

Thanks to everyone who took part on the May Day stall today, and to the May Day organising team who put on a great event for our whole community.

We were delighted to welcome Noa and her big sister Florence back to St Michael's last Sunday for Noa's christening. Just a few years ago, Florence had been christened in Offham and so it was lovely to help her explore more of her own baptism as we baptised her little sister.

Along with her parents, godparents, family and friends, it was lovely to celebrate little Noa's arrival into our world and pray for God's blessing.

If you're interested in being baptised, or having your child baptised, you can find out more on our website here:
