Sunday, 17th May - Parish APCM - 12:30 pm at St Michael's - Please do attend this important meeting which is open to all. YOUR PCC NEEDS YOU! We need more PCC members to represent our congregations in the parish. The meetings are every other month at 7:30 pm on Tuesday evening. We also need more Deanery Synod members - there are currently two meetings a year, they take place in a church in the Horsham area and are usually interesting. As a Deanery Synod rep you would report back to the PCC but you are not required to attend all PCC meetings. Please see Alison if you are interested.

 

The next confirmation service will be on 21st June at Rudgwick Church. Please do speak to Alison if this is something you are considering.

​​Horsham Matters Food Bank - The food bank started 2022 by providing food for 347 people and ended it by feeding 1,466 adults and children in December – an illustration of how tough things have got for many. January 2023 has continued in the same vein with 788 people needing support with food. More and more of those needing help are working people, finding their salaries no longer cover both bills and food, and our support in household budgeting, debt advice and benefits checks is proving a valuable service to those now in crisis.
 

If you can spare an item or two, the foodbank is currently short of:

Custard, tinned vegetables (not beans or pulses), tinned meat, rice pudding, tinned potatoes, UHT milk (non-dairy). OUR DONATIONS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER.
