Praying for the Diocese with Bishop Martin

As a Diocese, we are marking the 'Thy Kingdom Come' campaign with a series of events from the 21st May through to the 31st May.

On the eve of the Feast of the Ascension which falls this Thursday 21^st May, the Bishop will explain, in a video message to the Diocese, why these ten important days can deepen our prayer life together especially in these challenging times. Each day from the 22nd May - 29th May Bishop Martin invites you to join him in prayer. He will be offering a short daily Novena prayer for the diocese from his chapel in Chichester.

An Ascension Day service is being led by the Dean, The Very Revd Stephen Waine and a Pentecost service will be led by Bishop Martin, both at 10am.

All services will be available to view from our website. There will also be a reminder on our social media platforms prior to the services commencing.

BELL RINGERS NEEDED - practices paused for now.

For several years we have been very lucky to have a successful band of ringers in the Harting Parish Church. However, with ringers moving on and others off to University sadly, our numbers have fallen. We urgently need to recruit or find new ringers. Harting Bells

If you would like to 'have a go' please come to our Tuesday evening practice at 7.30pm. Do come and have a look around the bells in the belfry and see our bells 'in situ' and watch the ringers in action.
