PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND
There is a notice at the back of the Church with details of this McCabe tour. The fully escorted tour is: 'Pilgrimage to the Holy Land', 4-10 October 2018, and the cost is £1,375 based on sharing a twin-bedded room with private facilities. At this stage, showing an interest does not commit you in any way.
VICAR'S THOUGHTS
Revd Martin reminds us that we are currently in the Novena; those nine days of prayer to which the Archbishops have called us to, from Ascension to Pentecost. And, we are engaged at St Mary's on a number of initiatives related to Prayer. Do have a read of Revd Martin's latest 'Vicar's Thoughts', dated 1 June 2017.
CHURCH WALK
We are planning a lovely stroll through the country on the afternoon of Sunday, 16 July 2017. It would be for people of all ages: from buggy brigade, to strollers with sticks and all abilities in between. Family-members and friends all welcome. It will be lead by a fully qualified walk leader who would arrange things so that people could peel off at different points as required. Essentially, it would be from Barden to Leigh. Car parking would be available. People could bring snacks/picnics if they'd like. We will shortly put a sheet at the back of the Church for people to sign up if interested.
CONFIRMATION 2017
Bishop James will be confirming both adults and young people in a special service at St Luke's Church, Sevenoaks, at 10.30am on Sunday, 24 September 2017. If adults or children are considering being confirmed please contact Revd Martin. Preparation courses will be held on 17 & 24 June, and 10 & 17 September; Young people: 4-5pm, Adults: 5-6pm. Revd Martin
