It’s been a special two weeks! ✨

This year the Deanery Ascension Day service on the 14th May was held at St Barnabas. The evening brought together people from all the MVP benefices, Bishops Waltham and Wickham to celebrate the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven with music, choir and much laughter after the service 🎶⛪️🫶

Today, Whit Sunday brought us to Pentecost 🕊️, the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, when we pray for renewal, transformation - and remember the birth of the Church.

After the service we enjoyed birthday cake with coffee. Check out 👀 Wendy’s progress on the knitting challenge for Christian Aid - 200 hearts for those joining this years November thanks giving service to remember a loved one.
