This evening at 5pm we met at Saint Paul's Church in Chichester for a service of Celebration of the 950 th anniversary of the diocese being moved from Selsey to Chichester. Bishop Martin snd Bishop Ruth lead the service of praise and prayer with representatives of all the churches in the Chichester Deanery. We heard ftom the Dean about events of Celebration at the Cathedral this year, of planned pilgrimages, exhibitions, singing events, and with emphasis on young people, camps to be held in the summer.
Our Church Wardens Chis and Christine lead the procession of Church Wardens into the service.
We saw an excellent video of drone footage of all the Churches on the Deanery produced by our own Sam Brading. Well done Sam.
We sang lovely hymns and it was wonderful to appreciate our part in the continuity of Christianity in Sussex and yo pray for its future success.
