Ordination of John Searl, June 30th 2018

It was a very proud day for the congregation of Sinan church when a recent member of our congregation, John Searl, was ordained as deacon at the Peterhead Ordination service held in St Asaph Cathedral. We had all shared John’s journey towards priesthood as he explored his calling to ministry whilst worshipping at Sinan. The natural focus on discipleship at Sinan has already led to one of our congregation becoming a Lay Reader in 2014. In developing his ministry, John has played a very important role in our family service and has led a number of pilgrimages which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We were thrilled when John was accepted for training and have watched his progress with great interest. We had hoped that he would be returning to Denbigh MA as a Curate, but the Bishop has decided that he will be based in Aled MA for the next three years. Hopefully he will return to Denbigh MA in the future. We wish John every blessing for his future ministry and feel honoured to have shared some of his journey to this point. Mervyn Sanders
