Interregnum

We recently said farewell to our Vicar, the Rev’d Sarah O’Donoghue, wishing her well in her new role within the Diocese of Blackburn. Consequently, we have entered into a period of interregnum and have begun the process leading to the appointment of a new Vicar.

During this period of interregnum, Rev’d Graham Rutter and Rev’d Janet Roberts are leading our church. Short biographies for Graham and Janet can be found within the About Us page here.

Updates on our progress to fill the vacant Vicar position will be also communicated on this page.

We are in the process of producing a Parish Profile that will be used to advertise the vacant Vicar role at Christ Church Aughton. This profile includes a short survey to gather the views of our congregation on the qualities of the new vicar; as such, your participation is important and valued. The survey is only 10 questions long, should take about 3 minutes to complete and can be accessed via either the button or QR code below. Please note the survey closes on Sunday 15th December.

I was sat on the top of Clieves Hill eating a jar of chilli pickles with my sister, discussing how stressful my life was, how unhappy I was with my financial situation and trying to be the perfect Mum. I was looking for work and trying to fight my son’s corner who was being bullied in secondary school. I was feeling very alone, worse than I have felt in a long time. Things had now got the better of me and I was starting to crumble big time and my marriage was falling apart. My sister had just completed the Alpha Course and she told me how it had changed her life. She was eager to share her story and convinced me that the Alpha Course would be spiritually beneficial to me and my family. I agreed with my sister and suggested to my husband that the Alpha Course could be beneficial to both of us. He agreed and my sister kindly baby sat for us. My sister, my rock: I believe that God was working through her that night. My husband and I decided to give our marriage one last go. The Alpha Course has helped me to become more spiritually aware. It has saved my marriage and I have allowed Jesus to become part of my everyday thoughts and prayers since doing the Alpha course.”

“I decided to do the Alpha Course this January. My wife suggested that we experience it together. I had nothing to lose as I was continuously angry with my circumstances and always stressed over the little things. My family life and marriage were under strain, so I thought I would give it one last go. I knew a few of my family members had done the Alpha Course and I had heard good things about it. I had also noticed the changes in their lives. I went to the meetings, had a meal with my wife and made new friends, something I hadn’t done in a long time due to the unsociable working commitments as a chef. During our meetings we had discussions about God and Christianity and what it really meant to me. My relationship with God was growing and I prayed and thanked him more. I noticed things starting to change, I have become more humble and less stressed over the little things. I have become slow to anger and faster in understanding others. My pace has slowed down and my family has noticed the changes in me. I now feel an inner peace within myself. My circumstances are changing and I have learned to trust God, I have passed the control to him. My marriage and my family life is no longer under strain.”
