Summer arrivals
We are delighted (nay thrilled!) to announce the name of our new Associate Minister at Busbridge&Hambledon, Rev Simon Willetts and his wife, Naomi, will be joining us in the Summer. The Benefice Licensing date is 15th Sept, 6pm at Hambledon Church. (This is all subject to clear DBS, medicals and other paperwork.) Simon is currently Associate Minister at ChristChurch, Virginia Water.
Thanks to those who have offered furniture for our new Youth Minister. Anto Ficatier and his wife Jess will be arriving from Hong Kong in mid-August, and are grateful for our help in furnishing their home here. White goods, a car, sofa bed and dining room chairs would still be welcome. Contact vic.hicks@bhcgodalming.org if you can offer anything or help source items, or even help with furniture collection and delivery to Phillips Close.
Marriage Course starting 12 September 2019
Everything of value needs some care and a little polishing up now again, and marriages are no different. The HTB marriage course is now run nationally, and comes highly recommended by those who have done it at BHC in recent years. It’s fun and humorous as well as insightful, so they say! There are seven evening sessions (every other Thursday), where couples will be wined and dined in the romantic setting of the Old Rectory. NO GROUP DISCUSSION involved. More info to follow, but please register your interest or find out more from David and Sandra Wilkin: davidkswilkin@outlook.com or Mark and Linda Alcock: mlja@sky.com.
Congratulations to Liz Gorst in her wonderful metamorphoses into co-ordinating all our great facilities across BusbridgeandHambledon and helping us use them well for the Gospel. If you have queries about anything other than facilities please now direct them to Cat (weddings, funerals, baptisms, worship organisation), Jenny (safeguarding, DBS, GDPR, admin for work with young people) or Vic (activities, notices, communicating things).
Vacuum cleaner needed at the Old Rectory: Does anyone have a good vacuum cleaner going spare? It needs to cope with fairly heavy use! If so, please contact liz.gorst@bhcgodalming.org. (We received two good mowers after the request last week, thank you.)
Wonderful news! Congratulations to James and Emma Ellin on the birth of their daughter on 15 June. We look forward to hearing a name soon...
Calling all New Winers! A group of 28 from BHC are booked to go to week 2 of New Wine on 4 August.
