Today we warmly welcome the Reverend Richard Phillips who joins
us as our new vicar. He has moved from Holy
Trinity Church, Walton, Aylesbury, where he has been Curate for the past 3
years. Since January 2016 he took on the responsibility of the day- to-day
running of the church when his vicar became acting Archdeacon of Buckingham.
His other duties there included responsibility for
Children’s Ministry, establishing a Summer holiday club, developing links with
local primary and secondary schools, and working alongside adult and youth
volunteers. He was an active member of the pastoral care team, regularly
visiting people at home or in hospital.
He is married to Louise, and they have 3 children, Samuel,
Hannah and Rebekah. Richard and his family have already settled into the vicarage in Long Crendon and is keen to get to meet his parishioners in
Chearlsey, Nether Winchendon and Long Crendon. So look out for him and give him a warm Chearsley welcome.
