Oh! What a night! Thanks to the Jumbo Ensemble for putting on our first charity fundraising community concert since reopening. Around 120 in the church with, literally, everyone dancing in the aisles to Mamma Mia! and Dancing Queen. Great to raise funds for Chailey Heritage Foundation and show off our new flexible space. Thanks to all who supported. 'Having the time of our life!'

Joining our prayers with Fr Stephen, the congregation at Our Lady of Lourdes Church and the Sisters at St Martha's Convent as the death of Pope Francis is announced. His last words to the world from the balcony: 'Happy Easter'. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
