NEW PIONEER CURATE!
‘GETTING READY!’
A new Assistant Curate will be
joining us in the summer! The
Team Rector, with the Bishop’s
permission, has invited Robin Ham
to serve as a Pioneer Curate. Robin
is married to Zoe and they have a
young daughter, Evie, and are
expecting a second child in May.
The Ham’s will live at Holbeck and
part of Robin’s remit will be to
exercise a pioneering ministry in
that area. More details to follow!
If you were going on holiday you
would need to ‘get ready’.
As Christians we are charged with
preparing people for the ultimate
journey - eternity! ‘Believe...in
Barrow’ will provide a unique
opportunity to do just that!
In the meantime, please pray for
Robin as he completes his studies
at Oak Hill College and for the
whole family as they prepare for
another baby and move to Barrow
in June. Robin will be ordained at
Carlisle Cathedral on Sunday 28
June. Also, give thanks to God for
His generous provision and for the
sending the Hams to us!

Do come along as we embark into
Lent 2015 - everyone welcome!
On Saturday 21 February, from

Church, Canon Roger Simpson,
(leader of ’Believe...in Barrow’), will
provide an opportunity to help us
make the most of the unique
opportunity. ‘GETTING READY’ will
include practical help & encouragement on how to share your faith
and keep your friends; how to invite
people to events; what resources
may be helpful, etc. The day will
also help us to consider how our
congregations can prepare to
welcome new people, and develop
‘seekers’ groups for those who want
to know more about what it means
to be a Christian.
You may be reading this and
thinking: “This sounds good but it’s
not for someone like me”. Well,
‘Getting Ready’ is for anyone who is
concerned for the future well-being
of family, friends, neighbours and
colleagues and who believe Jesus
can make a real difference in this
life and the next. Sign up today!
