Rev Dr Mark Smith – Team Rector Belvoir Team
On 28th June at St. Mary The Virgin Church, Bottesford, we were able to formally and warmly welcome Rev Dr. Mark Smith as Team Rector to the Belvoir Team, with particular emphasis on St. Mary The Virgin Church Bottesford and the local Schools.
The weather held for us, and after the service refreshments were served in the Marquee in the grounds of St Mary’s Church Bottesford. This gave us the opportunity to meet Mark and his family in an informal setting, but it also gave us the opportunity to meet members of the Clergy and Laity that we do not get to meet that often.
There was a very warm and friendly atmosphere, with everyone looking forward to working with Mark and Lisa in the Belvoir Team, but in particular in Bottesford.
Kath Marriott, one of our younger and newest members of the PCC Says “ Parishioners of St Mary's Bottesford were delighted to host the licensing service of Rev Dr Mark Smith on Monday 28th June.
The church was packed with Christians from throughout the vale of Belvoir - As Team Rector, Mark is the Rector of not only St Mary's Bottesford but also the eight other parishes in the benefice.
It was a beautiful service not only licensing Mark, but also welcoming him and his family Lisa, Aidan and Hannah to Leicestershire. The welcoming words of Churches together in Bottesford as well as local community leaders (head teachers, councillors and local police) really brought to life the happiness that surrounded the occasion.
As a new member of the PCC at St Mary's and having not had the opportunity to attend a licensing service before, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found it a very emotional occasion. It really brought home to me the enormous dedication and commitment that our clergy provide to their communities and the impact that they can have on village and rural life.
I look forward to working with Mark in the future and supporting him in his vision for the Benefice. I pray that he will have a long and happy association with us”.
The children in the congregation presented Mark with a small present, with flowers for Lisa, and presents for Aidan and Hannah.
On Sunday at his first service, Mark’s sermon spoke of his vows that he had taken, and what they meant in liturgical terms. Which was interesting as too many of us they were probably just words?
He also renewed those vows in front of the members in the congregation.
Mark and his family (wife Lisa, and Children Aidan (8) and Hannah (4), moved into The Rectory during the half term weekend, it was good to see them at various village events, the summer fair and the scarecrow festival prior to his licensing. In his reply to the welcome given by the members of the benefice, laity, parish council and others, he spoke of how deeply they have been touched by the warm welcome they have received.
We welcome Mark and his family and wish them well on this new journey of life.
