NEW RECTOR - Rev. Julie Read was instituted and inducted as Rector of the Arrowvale Group of Parishes at St Mary's Church, Pembridge, on November 13. Born in Wombourne in Staffordshire, Julie grew up in Stourbridge and went on to gain a music degree and train as a teacher. She was ordained three years ago and comes to Pembridge from the Bishops Castle group of parishes. She has three children, aged between 14 years and 9 years, and the youngest attends Pembridge Primary School. Julie has a deep love of all kinds of music, writes classical arrangements but also plays steel drums. She hopes to build on links with schools and work with young families, whilst paying equal attention to meeting the spiritual needs of all parishioners.
