The Collation service for Mike Jones

Mike was officially licensed as Vicar of St. Michael & All Angels'
Lilleshall and St. John the Evangelist Muxton, Shrewsbury)
 on Tuesday 4th September 2007 in Lilleshall.

The Bishop of Shrewsbury - The Rt Revd Dr Alan Smith officiated
at what was a very special service, and afterwards refreshments
 were served at Muxton.

Over 80+ people travelled from Aldridge to be with Mike for this
service, which speaks volumes as to how warmly Mike, Ruth,
Alexandra & Christopher, were thought of during their time
in Aldridge where Mike was our Curate.

The church was packed, with people standing, and we really
appreciated the warm welcome & hospitality afforded to us
 from the church families in Lilleshall & Muxton.
