PACT are proud to be serving the community with cream teas at the Fete in the Park – sharing God’s love with all people through quintessentially British refreshments!
Festival Service – Thursday 19th July at St Mary’s
The PACT Festival Service is the launch to the Petworth Festival, giving thanks to God for the amazing creativity that we’re blessed to see and hear. There’ll be a selection of music, readings, hymns and we’re privileged to have an address by Lord Egremont.
WEEKLY PARISH PRAYER - AT PLAISTOW CHURCH EVERY SATURDAY MORNING
Each Saturday morning at Holy Trinity Church in Plaistow we gather for half an hour of prayer, beginning at 8.30 am and finishing as the clock strikes nine o'clock. Everybody is welcome - whether you have something specific to pray for or not. You can voice your prayer openly or keep it private or simply affirm the prayers of others. It's not a service as such - there are no processions, rituals, hymns or music. We just sit around the big table and pray.
Friday coffee mornings are still going strong - from 10am in the United Reformed Church in Petworth every Friday.
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity – advance dates for the diary – 21-26 January 2018 with the theme of That All May Be Free looks to be an encouraging and inspiring time for those seeking to go deeper with God and with each other.
The Petworth Foodbank continues with about two calls a week – it is a privilege to be able to provide a practical helping hand to those in need. Thank you to all volunteers who are working with the individuals affected and all those behind the scenes managing the food store.
