Busbridge Church Reordering so far..
The contractor has been on site for two weeks and has nearly completed the preparation stage for the electrics, decorating and laying the timber floor.  The oak flooring is about to be ordered and will need to acclimatise for two weeks before it is laid in mid July.  For more technical details and any questions please ask Tim Davies: timdavies.click@btinternet.com 

So far over £2500 has been raised for the reordering project from donations relating to the pews, runners and floor boarding!  There are still four pews that need a home.  If you would be interested in a pew or know someone who might, do get in contact with Michael on michaeleashing@aol.com

Please contact Shelagh Godwin via church.office@bhcgodalming.org if you can contribute cakes for the builders, or join the prayer effort for the reordering.  She would appreciate someone or several people to support this undertaking.

Calling all New Winers!  A group of 28 from BHC are booked to go to week 2 of New Wine on 4 August. If you’re coming too and would like to meet the rest of the group and do a bit of planning, you are warmly invited to tea on 30 June, 3.30pm at Karen Hart’s or to stay in the Old Rectory after the 6.30pm service on 7 July to chat. Do email Karen for her address, or to let her know if you’re coming to New Wine even if you can’t make either date!  Karen Hart karenhart58@btinternet.com

Do you have a young person aged 14 to 18 (school years 9 to 13)? Ichthus would like to increase communications with parents so if you are interested in receiving updates on events please send your email details to jenny.lansdowne@bhcgodalming.org.

Last call for Jam Together next Sunday, 2-5pm

For 11-18 year olds who play an instrument or enjoy singing.  We have a band-worth of young musicians, but a few more would be welcome.  Contact lisa.olsworth-peter@bhcgodalming.org for last minute registrations.

Spare Petrol Mower: Does anyone have a petrol mower they don’t use any more? Would you consider donating it to the church? If so, please contact liz.gorst@bhcgodalming.org. Many thanks.

It is with sadness that we inform you that Malcolm Gorick has died. He was a much loved member of Busbridge Church and moved to Taunton at the end of 2016.
