Congratulations to the Revd Bonnie Evans-Hills, who was formally welcomed and Licensed by Bishop Ian as Priest-in-Charge of St Margaret, Leven on 5th November. Lay Reader Ian Scott and members of St Margaret’s took part in the service. Bonnie in fact moved to Leven to begin her ministry at the start of lockdown, making a Service of Institution impossible at the time. Bonnie brings with her a wealth of experience in ministry and in inter-faith dialogue, and is very welcome as she joins us in this Diocese.

Other services of welcome and Licensing will be taking place, under Covid restrictions, during the next few weeks for other members of the clergy who have begun new ministries in the Diocese since March.

Mothers’ Union November’s e-News

As there are no collective acts of remembrance this year, St Serf’s, Burntisland, encouraged people in the town to knit poppies which we then displayed in a cascade on the side of the church. This is a ‘borrowed’ idea (thank you, Dunblane!) but very effective.
