Welcome to our weekly newsletter.  

This coming Sunday, we have a variety of services in our churches, including morning Holy Communion services where we celebrate Luke the Evangelist, a Pet Service at West Wickham at 11am, and a Taize service at Hildersham at 6pm.  

We held some pet services last year whilst I was safely on sabbatical, and I understand they were wonderful occasions with creatures both great and small - including a horse at West Wickham!

For something quite different, the Taize service offers a contemplative space as the evening draws in, inspired by chants from the Taize community in France. If you haven't yet experienced it,  I would recommend trying out one of our Taize services as a restful and refreshing time of prayer, being still and singing, to which all are welcome.
