Important Anniversaries in 2025
We have been reminded by our visiting priests that Bishop Martin instructed the Diocese last year that we should all be sharing the Chalice during the Act of Communion and not to intinct (dip our wafers in the wine). This is because drinking from the silver Chalice is less of an infection risk than dipping the wafer. We have been told that if we do not wish to drink from the Chalice we can take communion by sharing the bread only.
Dates to save!

Interregnum News
The Parish profile for Funtington West Stoke and Sennicotts and Chidham was reviewed this week at the PCC meeting on Thursday 26th and approved. It has now been forwarded to Mother Jessica (our Rural Dean) and to Archdeacon Luke so that the post can be advertised. The interview panel will be chosen by the PCC nearer the time. Please pray for the speedy appointment of the right person to lead us in our spiritual growth.
