SOUTH MALLING CHURCH: Are meeting this week to plan a range of social activities for the coming year. They will also be making arrangements to open the church a number of times during the next few weeks to enable local people to see the Let there be more Light installation, especially the parents of children who were involved in its making. Despite the secret fears of some church members, the art work is impressive and fits well into building. It consists of hangings depicting the miracle of the loaves and fishes, where Jesus found himself challenged to provide food for the five thousand or so who had followed him into the desert to hear his teaching. A young lad offered his lunch of loaves and fish for a start and somehow Jesus managed to turn that into a fulfilling meal for the whole crowd. When local man, Bobby Morley, was offered a box of my little ponies, found during a refurbishment close to where he works, he accepted it, to save the waste and found that more and more of these boxes kept being found and he ended up with a few thousand. After an unrelated hint about the bible story from a friend in Rwanda, and putting together this experience with the ponies, with added (though unintentional) inspiration from Grayson Perry and the hard work and creativity of children from South Malling School, the Pells, and the church Sunday School, the end product is quite amazing. Almost a miracle in its own right. Watch out for a list of Viewing Days for parents, children and interested others. The church is always open for regular services of course, for anyone happy to worship there. This Sunday, the service of Holy Communion is led by the Vicar, Revd Steve Daughtery. The service begins as always on Sunday mornings, at 9.30am. The church is one of the three Trinity churches in Lewes.
