CHRISTIAN MEDITATION GROUPS EAST GRINSTEAD AND WORTH ABBEY – we are now having a break over the Summer until September. Our next meetings will be EAST GRINSTEAD Thursday 8th September 7.30-8.30pm, and Worth Abbey Wednesday 14th September 7.45-8.45 pm.
FRIDAY MORNING ADORATION – A number of parishioners “pop in” to church between 09:00 and 1:00 at varying intervals during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament each Friday. However (and particularly over the summer months of holiday breaks), we really do need to build-up our core number of attenders who will commit to being present for (ideally) a particular one-hour period during the morning. This is to ensure that the Blessed Sacrament always has attendance beyond the current very small number of us who have so-committed. You will know that time spent at Adoration can be very rewarding so please could you help…just speak to Seana, Margaret or Chris on a Friday morning or, at any time, on contact no 327002. Come, let us adore him.
