Prayer

I am looking for a group of people to pray regularly and support those asking for our prayers. This would involve receiving the prayer requests each week and praying independently for those who have asked for prayer.  If you are interested in assisting with this please contact Fiona Bower via email at fionabower15@gmail.com.

Prayer Matters

Unfortunately, the next prayer group meeting, scheduled for Monday 10th February is cancelled.  Fiona extends her sincere apologies, but she will be recovering after a planned hospital stay.  The group will next meet at 2pm on Monday 10th March at Fiona’s house, 36 Winston Drive, Bexhill.  Prayer will be followed by tea, cake and fellowship.  All are welcome so do come along.  2025 dates for your diary: Monday 14th April and Monday 12th May.

Walsingham Invoices

All those attending the Walsingham Pilgrimage please collect your invoice on the table at the back of church.  Payment is due by 20th February.
