Following interviews recently, the Diocese now has a suitable candidate for the incumbency of Cuckfield and Bolney and who will be very welcome and provide hope that our period in vacancy is coming to an end. At this stage we can say no more except to ask for your continuing prayers for our new vicar and your continuing patience as we work with the Diocese over the announcement and the induction.

Year's Mind: David Duplock and Molly Potts

Intercessions:  Please  pray for those who are sick and in need within our families and community especially - Tom Crawford, Dilys Dunkin, Sandra Gibson, Helen, Michael Hudson, Rose Luce, Annabel Moir, Adrian Morris, Peta Pratt, Paul Riseley, Jenny and Peter Scofield, Hudson Wiggins and all those carers locally who quietly carry out their duties with little support or respite available at this time. 

Our prayers continue for the continuing desperate situation in Ukraine, more than a year on and for those trapped in Sudan; also Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, Southern Madagascar and all countries of the world who are suffering as a result of war, famine, drought, persecution, political unrest and continued Coronavirus outbreaks.

Enormous thanks to everyone who helped in any way to make our Prize Draw a success which culminated at Village Day. We raised £1,000.00 for church funds!
