Wickham Lodge National Garden Scheme open day
Saturday 26th May 2012 | 11:00am – 5:00pm This is the fifth year of opening and our ‘once a year day’, so we should feel confident and relaxed (we wish!). What a winter! We worried about the damage of snow and freezing temperatures which didn’t happen (well maybe a bit of frost) but what we [...]

Aylesford Church Alpha Course
Many of you may have heard of this excellent course which looks at the basics of the Christian faith and allows plenty of space for questioning and discussion.

In the morning we prayed about the importance of treating African countries justly: we considered the influence of debt, and money movement out of Africa, exploitation (especially of raw materials), the effect of land grabs by non-African countries on the food supply [...]

Church Cleaners’ Dinner!
This was to be a ‘bring and share’ meal and my friend and co cleaner Ann Daniels, who is an expert curry maker, had volunteered to provide our contribution. To our relief the weather held although increasingly chilly. Entering the Brassey Centre from the cold and rather dark parking area was an unexpectedly magical experience. [...]
