“Gallery in We are open! the Garden”

In fact, we’ve been open for ‘business’ all the way through Covid. There was a short period last Easter when we couldn’t use the buildings, which meant we focused on other things. Following the success of our Chelsea I’ve discovered that what most people mean when they say, “Is Church open?” is, “do you at Home show last year, we are once have services in Church?” The answer is yes, and you are very welcome. You’ll be met by a again going to reopen the gardens of friendly face (behind a mask for now), and we’ll keep you safe as you find sanctuary from Molecey Mill and The Granary for your the business of the world. In under an hour, I hope you find a way to deal with all that’s enjoyment this year. going on in your mind, and I hope I can help you make sense of what to do next. The church is many things, but foremost at the moment, it’s about finding time to cope with the With an art exhibition and Mill tours, highest and lowest points of life, and at times an escape from the normal pressure we all we will be welcoming visitors from - face. Please come and join us, it might not be what you expect! 24th-31st May - 10am-6pm What do you want from the church? The small image is Susan and I with the Easter Candle at 5:30am on Easter morning. Part of what I do is mark the times and seasons and pray Please book your tickets at for all of your hopes, dreams, fears and worries. Another thing I do is run seven heritage www.moleceyestates.com buildings across our seven villages. Sometimes heritage management gets in the way of working in the community. For a village church to flourish, I think you need a Priest and a well-maintained church(s) - luckily, you have both. Together, we will have to work especially hard to work out how we do things as the Government’s road map gives us more freedom. Of course, when I say, “I”, I mean a loyal bunch of volunteers. Think for a moment about all the things you value in the community. There’s a healthy mix of things you pay for, things run by volunteers, and things you have no choice but to support because they are essential to village life. I really would like to know where you think church fits in this mix and the things you’d like to see us do. Perhaps then it might not only be your church, but it will feel like your church. In June, we have a confirmation service. This is when the Bishop comes to confirm the promises made when we were Baptised (Christened). This the perfect excuse for a party and also a great way to explore what you believe. If you’re interested - get in touch. Adults and Children from Yr5 & 6 and above are ideal candidates. It is fantastic when we can help each other. Please tell me what help you need and do get involved if you can. Fr Aran PS There’s a service in one of our Churches at 9am on Sundays; the location changes 1 each week. See the centre pages for more details.
