On Sunday 30th June, we had a special service at Bignor to mark the 25th anniversary of Canon John Green's ordination.  It was the same year as women were first allowed to become priests, so we marked that anniversary too.  Taking the service were Revd Jo Burke, Revd Reji Raj-Singh and Revd Colin Datchler, chaplain of Seaford College.

A quiz night and supper will be held at the Sutton Village Hall on Friday 24th November to raise funds for the churches.  If you would like to come and can organise a table of 8, please email Catherine Corfield as soon as possible.  The cost is £100 per table and includes supper.
