Highbrook, West Sussex
A wonderful Summer Colours concert on Saturday from Sussex Occasional Singers & Summer Strings was topped and tailed by the Ukrainian and British National anthems with some gorgeous music in between including Mozart, Austin, Vaughan Williams and Parry. Here’s a quick blast of verse 2 of Jerusalem for those of you who couldn’t be there – how lucky we are to have such wonderful live music in our parish! Save the date for their next concert – 23rd September at St. Margaret’s.

Thank you to Robin for organising this morning’s working party at All Saints’ and thank you to everyone who turned up to help. We achieved all our targets (plus a couple) for the day with pipes undercoated and door ironwork cleaned and repainted. We even cleaned the tower out! Great teamwork and fun with it. See you later in summer for round 2 when we put the top coat on and tackle a few more of those unglamorous essentials.
The first draw of this year’s Hundred Club will take place after next week’s Evensong for Palm Sunday. If you’d like a chance to win in this first draw there’s still time to nab your ticket by downloading this form and returning it to Heather or another member of the PCC.
