Leonora, the previous Minister of the “Cadbury Pastorate” (Weoley Castle & Weoley Hill URC churches) – is now retired – and we look forward to a replacement

We now seek a new minister to serve Weoley Castle, Weoley Hill, Cotteridge & Carrs Lane Churches, under the title “South &
Central Birmingham Pastorate”. We are looking for a person who will enjoy working with the group of leaders already in place in individual Churches to engage with the varied communities in which we are set. In this process, we are being aided by Rev Melanie Smith, who is acting as “Interim Moderator”. We hope to make this joint Pastorate a reality by looking for ways that we can support each other in work and worship.
Until a new minister comes, Sunday Morning services will be led by visiting preachers or one of our own members (together with occasional joint services with other Churches). On Sunday afternoons there is informal family worship led by our “Community Outreach Pioneer” Sam and other local families. We continue to be available for services for Weddings, Baptisms, Blessings or Funerals, led by URC ministers from nearby. If you would like to arrange one of these, or if you need to talk to a pastor for any reason, please email the Church Secretary, Ted Forgan email: Weoleycastlecommunitychurch50 [at] gmail.com ; Church telephone: 0121 475 3841.
