We are delighted to say that the Revd Robin Selmes will be joining our ministerial team in September, with pastoral responsibility for the churches of Gillingham, Hartlip and St Luke's. Together with his wife Mandy and three children aged 15, 11 and six (at present), he will move into the manse in Homefield Drive, Rainham, ready to take up the appointment on 1 September. For the first year of his appointment he will work alongside Deacon Pru in Hartlip and Gillingham, as well as at St Luke's.
Robin is at present in the Brighton & Hove Circuit, and currently enjoying his first sabbatical in ministry. Before that he served in the Bracknell and Wokingham Circuit. We look forward to getting to know them all, and ask that you hold Robin and his family in your prayers over the next few months as they prepare for the move. The Circuit Service of Welcome for Robin and his family will be at 4pm on Sunday 3 September at Gillingham Methodist Church.
