After 13 years of ministry as Dean of Coventry Cathedral, Dean John Witcombe led his final services yesterday. His final sermon in the role was preached at Choral Evensong, bringing to a close a significant chapter of faithful and inspiring ministry.

RECOGNISE (6-12 July 2026) is a national week of recognition for everyone involved in ministry with children, young people, and their families (CYPF Ministers for short).

The Church of England’s online service this week comes from a church in our diocese - Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon - the place where William Shakespeare was baptised and is buried.
