Announcement for St James, Tunbridge Wells

The Bishop of Tonbridge is delighted to announce that The Revd Judith Hammill is to be appointed as the next parish priest of St James, Tunbridge Wells.

Judi will, of course, be well known to you all, having ably served her curacy with us here since the autumn of 2018, and for the last 4 months or so having been covering the interregnum. We certainly feel blessed that God is calling Judi for this new, substantive appointment in the benefice.

She is very much looking forward to the responsibility of leading us as we strengthen and develop our Vision to grow in our knowledge and love of God, to share the good news and love of Jesus with our community, and together to seek to work and pray for the kingdom of God.

In the next few weeks we will agree the dates for the formal end of Judi's curacy, some time away from parish duties for prayer and reflection, before returning to St James to be licensed by the Bishop. 

Please pray for Judi, Anthony and Josh as they prepare for their move to the Vicarage and this new season in their church and family life.

The church is open for private prayer from  9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday.
