Vicar of Henfield Alastair Cutting is due to be Installed at Southwark Cathedral at 3pm on Sunday 14 April, the second Sunday after Easter. (Archdeacons have a stall in a cathedral, hence installation.) Alastair is one of the three archdeacons being installed that day – further detail on the Southwark staff team (soon to be updated with the fresh appointments) is on the Southwark diocesan web site.  Southwark Invitation You don’t need a ticket for the service, but it would help to have an idea of numbers, so please use one of the sign-up sheets in our churches, or contact the office 01273 495532. There is minimal parking near the cathedral; and as London Bridge train station is less than 5 minutes away, that would appear to be the best way to travel. From Hassocks, suggested trains are 12:54, getting to London Bridge at 14:05; or the 13:24 from Hassocks getting in at 14:35.
Rev’d Peter O’Connell has been leading a Lent course based on St. Paul’s pastoral letters to Titus and Timothy. As part of this, Peter encouraged the group to apply some of the insights from these ancient scriptures over the weeks of the course in new ways for today’s church – the members attending have a list of suggestions to talk with the PCC about! In looking at some of Paul’s commentary on money in 2 Timothy, Peter introduced the group to Kiva, a ‘micro-financing‘ venture. St. Peter’s now has its own small lending ‘bank’ on Kiva, and the Lent group members decided which projects to give to.
