Dear Friends

May 26^th is Ascension Day and, as we have over the last few years, we are going to be having a Deanery Ascension Day service at 7.30pm at St Mary of Nazareth West Wickham to which you are all cordially invited. It will be lovely to see you there. It is always a great joy to have the opportunity to worship together.

Deanery Pilgrimage 2022 Saturday 11th June

16/05/2022 by Lu Gale

Some of you may simply want to be present in your church when the group arrives, some of you may
decide to do a couple of legs at different times of the day, some of you may want to walk the whole
route. (We will provide public transport alternatives for at least some legs, so that you could visit all
or many of the churches without necessarily walking the entire route!)
