Announcement for the parish of St Michael’s Cofton Hackett and St Andrew’s Barnt Green

The Bishop of Birmingham is delighted to announce the appointment of the Revd Andrew Hobbs as the next incumbent of the parish of St Michael’s Cofton Hackett and St Andrew’s Barnt Green.

Andy is currently Priest in Charge of St Helen’s Cliffe-at-Hoo with Cooling,  in the diocese of Rochester. He says, “Whilst we are sad to leave so many friends behind in Cliffe, we are excited for the next adventure that God is leading us into”. Andy is married to Jill and they have four children.  Andy’s licensing is likely to be in early May, and will be announced in due course.

In the meantime, please keep the Hobbs family and both parishes in your prayers.
