Introducing the new Rector of the Ramsbottom & Edenfield Team Ministry

After a long journey,

The Ramsbottom & Edenfield Team Ministry were delighted when the Rev Ian Fleming was licensed Rector of

The Ramsbottom & Edenfield Team by

The Right Reverend Doctor Matthew Porter, Bishop of Bolton, at St Paul’s Church in Ramsbottom on the 15th January 2024

Rev Fleming was supported by Clergy, friends and family, and many from the Team Churches.

As it is a crown appointment, the letters patent were read by the Vice Lord Lieutenant Mrs Sharman Birtles MBE,JP,DL who we were honoured to have attending.

Congratulations Rev Fleming.

 

Ian joined RETM officially on the 18th September as Curate in Charge, and we are now are delighted to have a settled future with Ian at the helm as Rector

The Ramsbottom and Edenfield Team Ministry serves a beautiful part of the Irwell Valley north of Bury. There are four parishes and four church buildings, which have a variety of traditions but seek to work together alongside other Christians in our town, to share the good news of Jesus, and to show his love to all.

 

Please note Service times for our Team Churches are:
St Philip’s – 9.15am on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month
Edenfield Parish Church – 8.00am Morning Prayer  9.30am Morning Worship
St Paul’s – 10.30am Holy Communion BCP on Tuesdays
Sundays 11.00am Morning Worship
St Andrew’s – 11.00am Sunday Morning Worship at 11.00am


We are now extremely blessed to have the newly ordained Deacon Rev Lesley Stear as a member of our Team, for which we are doubly grateful.

 

RETM are also fortunate to have the Reverend Ian Thompson, together with Jane Thompson, Pam Thomas and Wayne Merridew who are licensed as Reader Emeritus, and two Authorised Lay Ministers to complete our Team.

it is a family where you belong

and a home where you are loved

and a hospital where you find healing…’
