CHURCH CLEANING: The next clean is this Wednesday (3rd) from 10 a.m. (it is always the first Wednesday of the month) and extra help is always gratefully appreciated. It is not strenuous work, and more hands get it done more quickly.

SUSSEX HISTORIC CHURCHES TRUST RIDE AND STRIDE is taking place on Sat 13th September. If you would like to take part, talk to Peter or email peter.shears3@btinternet.com.

OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS – RAISING MONEY FOR THE FLINT WALL FUND:
Friday 5 September, 7 pm: St Anne’s and the neighbourhood. A talk by Sue Berry and Chris Whittick about the history of St Anne’s, the well, the pilgrimage route and Medieval Anchoresses. Saturday 13 to Sunday 21 September, 9 am–4 pm, daily. An Anchoress in residence. St Anne’s has a 13th-century anchorite’s cell. A parishioner has offered to live as an anchoress during this time and be available for conversation, singing, prayer and sponsoring. We are looking for people to be in church while the Anchoress is in residence, just to ensure her safety. Sue Griffiths is doing the rota and she has divided each day (starting on Monday15th) into 4 slots each one being approx one and a half hours long. Volunteers are welcome to bring laptops, a book or knitting with them, they need do nothing other than be present in the church (at the moment Monday and Tuesday has no one). If you are able to give some time, then please email Sue at sueross_1@hotmail.com Saturday 6th to Sunday 21st September, Fri-Sun 11am – 5pm. Anchored in Silence: Artwave exhibition of sculpture and installations.
