On Monday 4th February 2019 Rev Janet Pitman was inducted into her new post as minister to the Joint Benefice of St James Milnrow and St Thomas’ by Bishop Mark, the Bishop of Middleton.

Supported by her family, members of both congregations and of the local community Janet was welcomed to Milnrow and Newhey. it was a welcome end to what has been a relatively short interregnum of 9 months.

Janet and her family come to us from the Oldham area. She trained in Manchester and has a wealth of experience working with people both in her previous work and as a minister.

We look forward to working with Janet as we move forward in our journey together.
