This Sunday being the first of the month was our children's service. We made our annual rogation walk of blessing. Sidlesham is quite a large Parrish geographically, despite having only 1400 souls residing in it. The boundaries would take quite a while to walk, so our rogation walk was limited to the immediate surroundings of the Church.
We started in the barn at the end of Church Farm Lane, blessing the seeds and crops, then proceeded through to bless the creatures of the water, the horses and the cows, returning to the Church for our final hymn and blessing. This year we were blessed indeed to have dry weather, after several years of processing in the rain this was much appreciated. We hope this augers well for a productive year on the land.
