Dear Friends
This Thursday 16th July you are warmly invited to join Estelle for the last of these sessions - this week we are exploring prayer. 12.45-2.45pm at Christ Church, Coldharbour. You don’t have to have come to any of the previous sessions - curious? - come and find out more……….. 
On Sunday join Virginia at 9am for our traditional said Communion service from the Book of Common Prayer and Amber will be leading us in our reflective Congregational Evensong at 6pm. All are very welcome.
At St. James’ at 10.30 we have a special Parish Communion Service as we celebrate our Patronal Festival. Refreshments served after the service.
Following the untimely death of Bishop Andrew we are now beginning the process of finding our next Bishop of Guildford. What would you like our new Bishop to be like? What qualities would you like to see? Where should they prioritise their time? Have your say by completing this survey - The consultation to listen to the voices across the diocese as we discern who God is calling to be the next Bishop of Guildford is open until 20 July. The Vacancy in See Committee would like to hear from as many people as possible about the life and future of our diocese.
With love
Rev'd Kia
