The National Churches Survey
This survey gives every church a voice. The National Churches Trust is carrying out a survey to help politicians, the media, and the wider public better understand the challenges churches, like yours, face and to highlight the vital work they do. They want to hear from staff and volunteers at churches in the UK. Your response will provide essential evidence to build a clearer picture – to tell a stronger, more informed story about your church, and others like it, and help to address some of the biggest challenges facing churches and ensure their future. The survey closes on Monday 30 June 2025.

Pentecost “Fifty Days”
Pentecost means “fifty days” since Easter Day. For seven weeks we have celebrated the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles, and therefore the Church, enables us all to continue Jesus’ mission to proclaim the good news.
‘Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who instructed the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us by the same Spirit, that we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in his holy consolations, through Christ our Lord. Amen.’
Next weekend: As mentioned previously, although the implementation of the Pastoral Plan seeks to brings St Joan’s into the wider ‘Parish of Guildford’, much of our pastoral co-operation will be in HUBs, with Farnham being grouped with Ash and Heath End. As such, next week, Fr. Robin and I are doing a ‘pulpit swap’. We are not proposing or suggesting this becomes a regular thing – the plan (for now) envisages we retain primary pastoral stewardship of the communities as they are now - but if we ever have to cover for each other or wish to share resources more freely, this weekend gives us both a chance to see ‘what’s what’ in each community. Ash and Heath End get to know me better, just as you meet Fr. Robin.
Therefore:
Fr Robin will celebrate: 5pm (Sat), 9.15am, 11.15am & 5pm Masses in St Joan’s.
Fr Simon will celebrate: First Holy Communion (Sat) in St Joans and then the 5.30pm & 11am Masses in Holy Angels, and 9.15am at Holy Family.
‘May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all’. Fr. Simon.
