Warm welcome for new Market Drayton vicar
A Market Drayton church congregation got a chance to meet its new vicar at a special licensing service.
Jane Morris was the guest of honour at Christ Church in Little Drayton, near Market Drayton, when she was inducted by the Rt. Rev Dr Michael Ipgrave, Bishop of Lichfield.
Margaret Taylor, of the church committee, said: “It was a wonderful night, the bishop received a very warm welcome from the congregation.
“Jane herself was made to feel truly welcome to our church, as we had waited a year to have a new vicar.
“The church was almost full and the atmosphere was amazing, the service itself was enjoyed by all. Many attended from her previous parish and there were priests from many other areas attending.
“Overall it was a wonderful evening and afterwards refreshments were served at the Festival Drayton Centre where all had the opportunity to personally meet her.”
