Our New Incumbent

The service of Induction and Installation of the Rev’d Patrick Mabhunu as Vicar of our Benefice will be on Wednesday 6th November at 7pm in St Andrew’s Church, Shrivenham. Everyone is welcome. The service will be followed by refreshments and a finger buffet.

A Message from Patrick

I received the news of my appointment as the next Vicar of the Shrivenham and Ashbury Benefice with great thrill and joy. My wife Priscilla, and the children all gave shouts of joy and happiness. We all sang in our hearts "To God be the glory, great things he hath done". Indeed “This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes”. Psalm 118 v23
I would like to thank the Lord Chancellor, Patron of our Benefice, the Bishop of Dorchester, and your Parish representatives on the appointment panel for trusting and believing in me to take over from Rev’d Fergusson.
I have been in the Benefice as Associate Vicar for nearly a year, but the news of this appointment brings me new excitement, new energy, and new vision for the Benefice.
I am thankful to all the people in this Benefice who have helped me and my family settle in comfortably and we are happy to be a part of the Church family here.
I promise to dedicate my time to diligently serving the Lord and the people of this Benefice. I pray for wisdom and strength to guide and lead the Benefice to greater worship and knowledge of the Lord as we continue together to mirror the hospitality of God.
