Downland Benefice

Downland Benefice
Complete France reports:

At this time of year many Christian families will attend their local church. The reverend Dr Caroline Currer is the Priest-in-Charge of the Downland Benefice, which comprises the four parishes and churches of Poynings, Edburton, including Fulking, Newtimber and Pyecombe. “I have been in this post just over six years,” says Caroline, “What Christmas means to me is joy, hope, a new beginning and personal exhaustion. On Christmas Day I will be taking services at midnight, 8am and 10am in three of our four churches. Meanwhile, I’ll be helping with some of the food preparation, so that everything will be ready for a traditional Christmas lunch here with my parents, who are in their 90s. It’s likely that I will fall asleep during the Queen’s speech and then see my children and grandchildren either in the evening or the next day.”
