You are warmly invited to attend a special service taken by The Venerable Fiona Windsor Archdeacon of Horsham to License our new Priest in Charge The Reverend Kate Bailey On 17th October at 7.30pm Followed by a welcome party at the Village Hall Page 3 Lurgashall Parish October 2019 Dear All, Well this is the week that we move in to Northchapel, and apart from being swamped with boxes, lists and a confused dog (amongst many other things!), we are really looking forward to Friday and our official arrival in the parish! Although I don’t officially start work until my licensing on 17th October, I have meetings already pencilled into the diary, including the School Harvest service, which I’m really looking forward to. We will be holding a combined service with Lurgashall and Ebernoe at St Michael's Church, Northchapel on Sunday 20th October at 10.30am, which will be my first service with you all, and we would like to invite you to join us afterwards at a "bring and share" lunch at Northchapel Village Hall, at 12pm, and meeting as many of you as possible. The idea is to bring enough food for you and your family, plus a bit extra to share with others – savoury, sweet (my favourite!) or side dish. If you are planning on coming, in order to help us know how many tables etc to put out, please could you let Kate Gambles in the Parish Office know – either by email on [email protected], or by phone at 01428 707373. Next month I will be writing a fuller letter for the magazines – once we have arrived and are getting our feet under the proverbial parish office desk! With all best wishes, God Bless Revd Kate Bailey Page 4 Lurgashall Parish October 2019 Please come to the HARVEST FESTIVAL SERVICE on Sunday 6th October 2019 at 6.00 pm *** EVERYONE IS VERY WELCOME *** This will be followed by HARVEST SUPPER in the Village Hall SUPPER TICKETS ONLY £7.50 EACH (ticket price includes your first glass of wine) Tickets now on sale in the Village Shop Page 5 Lurgashall Parish October 2019 FLOWER ROTA 6th Oct Gina Reed 13th Oct Anthea Martin-Jenkins 20th Oct Judy Pavia 27th Oct Rose Dillon-Thiselton 3rd Nov Barbara Kinnear CHURCHYARD WORKING PARTY The Churchyard working party is on Friday October 4th from 9.00am to 1.00pm.

Page 10 Lurgashall Parish October 2019 Film Night is back again on Wednesday 2nd October with ‘Fisherman’s Friends’ at Lurgashall Village Hall This feel-good comedy is based on a true story and set in the Cornish village of Post Isaac. A fast-living, cynical London music executive (Daniel Mays) heads to a Cornish village on a stag weekend where he's pranked by his boss into trying to sign a group of shanty-singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). He becomes the ultimate 'fish out of water' as he tries to gain the respect of the unlikely band and their families who value friendship and community over fame and fortune.
