Sharing the Chalice during Communion
We have been reminded by our visiting priests that Bishop Martin instructed the Diocese last year that we should all be sharing the Chalice during the Act of Communion and not to intinct (dip our wafers in the wine). This is because drinking from the silver Chalice is less of an infection risk than dipping the wafer. We have been told that if we do not wish to drink from the Chalice we can take communion by sharing the bread only.
The Bible Course
The Bible course is running every Wednesday from 2pm to 4pm in the Funtington Church Room. It started on 17th April and runs for 8 weeks. This is an excellent course, providing an overview of the Bible using video presentations and group discussion. It is of a high quality and highly recommended. Everyone welcome. Please come along at any point during the course and give it a try. Please see Anne Maddock or Neil Watt for more details.
