St Michael the Archangel, Smarden
All Saints Church, Biddenden
News & Events – March 2024
January 2024 will see All Saints and St Michael go into interregnum. We send our warmest wishes to Tess and Jane as they embark on their new spiritual journey in Glasgow. Their departure will prompt a vacancy and plans are underway to appoint a replacement Priest in Charge. It is very difficult to apply a timeline to the process as there are a lot of variables that could affect the outcome. Nonetheless, regular church services will continue, overseen by dedicated Churchwardens ensuring a consistent schedule, including weekly Communion. Plans are set for the initial six months’ services, managed by local Priests covering baptisms, weddings, funerals, and pastoral visits. For any pastoral care requirements, please reach out to the office or designated contacts. Your prayers are appreciated for the Churchwardens and PCC members as they guide both Churches through this transition.
Biddenden Bell Ringers are having an open house on Saturdays 16th March and 23rd March, 10.30-4pm. If you have got ringing experience and would like to rekindle your interest or if you are new to bell ringing and would like to have a go, please come along. A warm welcome awaits plus drinks and home-made refreshments. Children welcome if accompanied by an adult.
