Thank you for your support. Pam Gaskin 01273 843182 Deanery Choral Evensong Eight parishioners from Ditchling attended the Hurst Deanery Choral Evensong at St Peters Church, Henfield on Sunday 17 th February along with many others from other Deanery parishes. Eight St Margaret’s choir members joined 34 other choristers from other parishes in the Deanery including Burgess Hill (St Andrew and St John), Cowfold, Henfield, Hurstpierpoint and Woodmancote to lead the service. St Peters Church, founded in 770, lies at the highest point of the ancient parish of Henfield and is part of the united benefice of Henfield, Shermanbury and Woodmancote. The vicar, the Rev Alistair Cutting, led the service with the assistant Rural Dean, the Rev Dr Caroline Currer who gave a thought-provoking Sermon. The Psalm, Nunc Dimittis and Magnificat were sung beautifully by the choir. The anthem, King of Glory, King of Peace (JS Bach) sent our spirits soaring to the roof along with the choir’s voices. The final anthem, the Vesper Anthem, God be with you till we meet again (Anthony Abbott) was a fitting farewell to the Rev Cutting who leaves Henfield and the Deanery for the Diocese of Southwark where he will be Archdeacon of Lewisham and Greenwich. Choir members and parishioners from Ditchling were made to feel most welcome. A sumptuous spread of homemade quiche, sandwiches, sausage rolls, coffee and tea was enjoyed as we mingled and chatted with clergy and those from other parishes which rounded off an evening of fine hymns, anthems and traditional evensong liturgy. Both body and soul were nourished. Carl Belfield 9
