ST MARY'S SALEHUST
Two early services on Sunday May 11th. There is Prayer Book Communion, 9am at St Mary’s Salehurst and coffee before an Informal Service from 9.15am at Holy Trinity Hurst Green.
The 11am service at St Mary’s will be Holy Communion.
Thanks to all those who came to Music Makers and the 11am service last week. It was a joyous, musical event with a Baptism and plenty of families in church. It's good to see so much local support. It could be some time before we know any more about the process of finding a new Vicar for St Mary’s but we need to continue with letters and emails to the diocese Bishop.Lewes@chichester.anglican.org to demonstrate the need for St Mary’s to remain open.
If you need to contact someone from St Mary’s please email the churchwardens stmarysalehurst@outlook.com
and they will be able to put you in touch with someone who can help.
There is also information in the Villager or www.stmarysalehurst .com
