We are looking for volunteers for this year’s St Stephen’s Hope in Action Weekend which is on 14^th & 15^th October. (please note change of date!).Following last year’s success, we hope to reach out to even more people, bring the community together and have fun! We anticipate similar jobs like gardening, cleaning, litter picking etc.

If you are able to take part, please sign up on the list at the back of the church or email Tineke Zwinkels – willow2@madestein.co.uk. Any help much appreciated.

We will close the weekend with a BBQ where everyone in the village is welcome to join us.

More information to follow in due course,

Thank you to all those who contributed to the Harvest Festival:- the flower arrangers, those who brought goods and a huge thank you to Michael & Doris Leeder for their usual contribution of fresh produce. All donations were shared between the community, Stonepillow & Chichester Food Bank.

Thank you all again, Tina Tyres

Thank you to all the flower arrangers for making our church so beautiful on this special day, Thank you also to those who brought tins, dried foods, fruit etc. which were all taken to the Chichester Food Bank by Ray & Kym Sharman. A particular thanks to Terry Blaza who assists us all in his special gentle way. And also a huge thank you to Sue Waite for supplying & managing the cream teas. The cream teas and raffle raised the grand sum of £97 which will go to church funds.

There will be a Deanery Confirmation Service in Fishbourne Church on Thursday, November 23rd at 7.30pm. If you would like to be confirmed please do speak to James or Stephen. In my time here our Confirmation candidates have ranged from ages 11 to 80 – my only stipulation being that children must be at Secondary school before they are confirmed. So if God is prompting you to take this step please do! Confirmation classes for candidates from our Benefice will begin sometime in October. We are likely to be meeting on a mid-week evening in the St. Stephen’s room.
