A lovely sunny day with lots of furry friends and their famlies.
We enjoyed blowing bubbles, singing, playing in the Parish Room garden and teddy cakes.
Celebrating 25years since Fr David's Ordination
On this special anniversary, we thank God for David's (and Hilary's) unwavering commitment to his calling and to the grace and love they share with us.
A prayer for David
"May God continue to grant him wisdom, patience, and joy as he serves our parish with love and devotion"
David lead a special Mass (Communion service) at St Richards, Haywards Heath to celebrate.
Prayer and Discernment for Our Next Bishop of Chichester
Almighty God, giver of every good gift: We thank you for the faithful ministry of Bishop Martin.
As we seek a new bishop to serve our household of faith,
send your Holy Spirit to deepen our trust in you and to guide all who will discern the person you are calling;
that we may know, love, and follow Jesus, today and always. Amen.
