Announcement from the Bishop of Colchester and the Archdeacon of Colchester

2 September 2024

From Bishop Roger Morris and Archdeacon Ruth Patten

We are delighted to announce the good news that (subject to appropriate
DBS clearance) The Revd Sharon Guest has been appointed Vicar of St Osyth
& Great Bentley and Priest-in-Charge of Weeley with Little Clacton. 

Sharon began her ministry as a Lay Reader over twenty years ago.  She was
ordained in 2012 and served her curacy and her first post in the Barking
Episcopal Area.  Sharon has been a Team Vicar in the Roach Parishes in the
Southend Archdeaconry of this Diocese for over five years.
 
Sharon says,

"I'm really looking forward to ministering with the people of these
parishes and am excited to have been called to these churches and the
Colchester Episcopal Area. I am excited that these parishes will be
working together in a new way.

"I will of course miss the people of the parishes where I have been
ministering and I will miss my wonderful colleagues Kim, Hayley, Gary and
Ernie and the wardens and lay people who I also minister alongside."

We look forward to welcoming Sharon and Ernie into your parishes and the
Colchester Episcopal Area and ask for your prayers for them as they
prepare to move and as she prepares to take up her new ministry with you.

We also pray for the Roach Parishes, as they prepare to say goodbye to
Sharon.

Thank you.
