A wonderful evening of music courtesy of The King's Men returning again and made particularly special as the choir included the great great grandson of a former Rector! A delightful selection of music ranging from Renaissance polyphony and traditional folk songs to arrangements of contemporary pop songs - performed brilliantly by these very talented performers! A wonderful summer evening of music and socialising at the bar as the sun went down.

Thank you to everyone who dropped in at the Cross Keys B**r Tent or had a go at Splat the rat at the Ightham Village Summer Fair today. We had lots of fun and huge thanks to the fantastic team who made it all run so smoothly!

Please join us as we pray 🙏

Father God,
thank you that you know everything about me.
Thank you for your amazing unconditional love.
Walk with me through today.
Help me to find my security in you:
the Lord who knows me and loves me.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen.

Today at Breakfast@Church we were doing lots of grape-based challenges as we thought about Jesus' saying I am the vine and you are the branches.

Do you have any old or unwanted candles that could be recycled?
As part of St Peter’s spring clean, we’ve been sorting through old
candles and remains of tea lights and trying to find a way to recycle
them. We’ve been in contact with St Neot’s churches team ministry,
which collects, not only new candles to be sent to Ukraine where
electricity supplies are unreliable, but also candle remains which are
melted down and made into “trench candles” which are sent to the
front lines there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-68166082
We’ll be sending a parcel to St Neots on 14th June so, if you have
new or old candles or tea lights that you’d like to donate, please put them in the box in the porch at St Peter’s church Ightham by lunch time on 14th June or contact Judith via [email protected] and we will pick them up.
Let's shine more light in the darkness!

A Cambridgeshire curate is collecting used candles so that they can be remade and sent to Ukraine.
