Messy Church Planning Meeting

Messy Church Logo - text on red blob
We are hoping to start a new venture in Fulking, starting in May.

It’s a monthly gathering of craft/music/painting groups in the Village Hall to work on a project with a religious theme (e.g. Noah, Shepherd and sheep). We will have a short ‘service’ including all the work done, followed by tea for the children and probably a drink for the adults. All this in approx. an hour and a half (probably Friday 4.30-6.00pm).

We’re holding a planning meeting on Wednesday 22nd April, at 5pm in the Village Hall. We would really welcome your input and views.

Parish Council Election Result

Although the outcome of the General Election is unknown, the Parish Council election result isn’t.  The election was uncontested, so the final result has already been declared. This means that the community’s views will continue to discussed and represented by locals rather than by Mid Sussex District Council.
