VE Day celebrations - 80th Anniversary

2025 will mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.

At 6.30pm that evening, churches and cathedrals across the country are being asked to ring their bells in celebration. Our own wonderful bellringers here in Harting will be taking part that evening, and before they do so we shall be holding a short service in church to which you are all warmly invited.  The service will begin at 5.45pm (to conclude by 6.25pm) and will include the singing of ‘Jerusalem’ and ‘I vow to thee my country’.  It will be a good old patriotic celebration!

After the service, while the bells are being rung, we invite you to enjoy fish and chips and a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) in the Law Room.  Winston Churchill famously refused to impose rationing on fish and chips, even during the darkest years of the War.  We will need to order them in advance, so if you’d like to reserve a portion, please sign the list that will be placed at the back of the church.

Evensong and Blessing of new lectern

Evensong and Blessing of new lectern

We warmly invite you all to this special service at which a new lectern for the church will be dedicated.  It will be an Evensong for the Eve of Candlemas and the Dedication of the New Lectern.  The service will start at 5pm and will be followed by light refreshments in the Law Room.

The lectern was commissioned by our previous Rector, Canon Harriet Neale-Stevens, and we are delighted that Harriet and her husband Simon will be joining us for the service. The lectern is a superb piece of craftsmanship and was made by Alex Jones, the son of the late Sue Jones, who was known to many of you.  It is made of yew and takes the form of an open Bible, with the words, 'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth', on its stem. We very much hope that Alex and Julia Holmes (whose late husband Roger bequeathed the funds for the lectern) will also be at the service, together with other friends of the church.
