The youth base floor has now been screeded and the external area clad. The base of the feature cross has been concreted and the cross will be delivered to site next Friday. The internal works to the main office area are now completed. Mark Pateman

We send our love to Sarah Blagden, whose father died on Easter Sunday.  Please hold Sarah and Andrew in your prayers, together with their children and the wider family.

Prior’s Field Prayer Space Event
Tom Starnes from Busbridge Contemporary/6.30 is also the Head of Religious Studies at Prior’s Field School. Tom is  keen  to set up a Prayer Space event at the school this term, but he'll need quite a lot of help to make it happen! He particularly needs someone who can take on the 'team leader' role. The prayer spaces website describes what this involves: www.prayerspacesinschools.com/prayerspacesteps/recruiting.
It is quite a big time commitment...is there anyone at Busbridge who might be willing and able to do this?
Looking at dates sometime in June (probably not 1st week). If you’d like to get involved or would like to know more, please contact Tom at tstarnes@priorsfieldschool.com.

Helpful Habits
This latest prayer course has been cancelled due to lack of interest. If you would like to be informed if other dates are decided on please contact Gertrud Sollars.

The isolation of these islands has allowed the preservation of unique indigenous creatures, some of them discovered by Charles Darwin!  Come along and meet the giant tortoise and see dramatic volcanic landscapes and more with Pat and Dudley’s photographic tour of the Galapagos! We meet in Busbridge Church Centre 8.00pm and there’ll be drinks and nibbles before the talk starts.  We very much look forward to seeing you!  All welcome!
