After nine years at St Philips & St James Church our local vicar is preparing to move on to pastures new.

Revd Jane Parry said "As you can see we are finally getting on with the Spire and the interior alterations. When they are completed it will be a fantastic opportunity for a fresh look at the mission of this church and a new vision for the approach to this mission.

"I have thought for some while that when this happens this mission will need fresh eyes and an innovative approach to use the facilities in ways this church has not been used before – and that I should pass the baton on to someone to lead this church and its community on in the next phase of its task of spreading the Gospel here in Alderley Edge. Therefore, I shall be leaving in the autumn."

Revd Parry has accepted a part time post as Vicar of St Paul with St Luke in Tranmere, Birkenhead where she will be working four days a week.

She explained "It is an urban priority area parish with 12,000 residents, 3 schools and 7 residential homes – so a challenge on many levels.

"I hope you will understand that the integrity and faith which brought me from my previous parishes to here now leads me on elsewhere.

"I shall miss you all so very much, and I do thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help and love and support you have shown me these past nine years."
