St Andrew is the Patron Saint of Didling Church, and this year St Andrew’s Day falls on a Sunday (which is also Advent Sunday).  We will mark it by holding our main Benefice Eucharist that day at Didling at 10am

We warmly invite you to join us for our candlelit Advent Carol Service at 4pm on Sunday 30th November.  It’s always a very beautiful and reflective occasion.

Advent is the start of the Church’s year, and over the course of the next year most of our Sunday Gospel readings will be from St Matthew’s Gospel (Year A in our three-year cycle).  To prepare ourselves for this, I’d like to invite you to come and join me in the Law Room for a read through of the whole of St Matthew’s Gospel on Saturday 29th November.  We shall begin promptly at 9.30am and end by lunchtime and will aim to use the NRSV version of the Bible.

Join us in the Law Room for an hour or so of relaxed and open-minded discussion.  15th October happens to be the anniversary of St Hildegard of Bingen, a remarkable twelfth century visionary and polymath, so perhaps we could talk about the influence of Christian women and also share some of Hildegard’s insights about creation.  All welcome.

The 80th anniversary of VJ Day falls on 15th August, and we shall honour the memory of those who fought and died in the Far East in what is often called the ‘Forgotten War’.

British civilians also suffered greatly following the Fall of Singapore, many of them dying in refugee camps from malnutrition and disease.  They, too, deserve our remembrance.

On Monday 11th August Margie Caldicott, from St Paul’s Church in Chichester, is kindly coming to us to talk to us about the women and children, including her mother, who were interned in a camp in Palembang in Sumatra in the most squalid and brutalising conditions.  Among the other inmates was the missionary Margaret Dryburgh, who formed a ‘vocal orchestra’ to help sustain morale, and wrote the famous ‘Captives’ Hymn’ which was sung every Sunday (you can hear moving renditions of it on YouTube).

Margie has visited Sumatra and was present at the dedication of a memorial to those who died there.  Her talk will be in the Law Room at 6pm.  Wine and soft drinks will be available.
