On Saturday the 31st of May some of our parishioners visited the Bishop's Palace in Chichester for a period of refection and renewal.Dr Andrew Mayes, Diocesan Spirituality Adviser lead a reflection with us, discussing the annunciation and the visitation by Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. We were encouraged to write our own Magnificat in response to his thoughts. The Eucharist was celebrated in the Bishops private chapel, and we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the gardens. This was a very rewarding experience for those who attended and it is hoped that we can organise something similar in the future, as many who wanted to attend were not able. Many thanks to the Bishop and to Dr Mayes for this enriching spiritual experience.
