This weekend we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day.
St Mary the Virgin Church, Bletchingley, invites you to our 80th Anniversary of VE Day. Come to our Tea Party at 3 pm on Sunday, 4th May, then hang around for a VE Songs of Praise at 5 pm..
The church will be open. Please enjoy the display of newspapers published on the days leading up to VE Day, on the day itself, and over the following few days.
In church, we have a memorial for Commander Wilfrid Dunderdale – an amazing chap and part of our village history. Read more: The Model Bond: Wilfred ‘Biffy’ Dunderdale - Aspects of History
The tower will open, but please respect the ushers who show you the way up. Toilets are available in Church House. The churchyard is a wonderful play area, but parents/carers, please remember your children’s safety is your responsibility! Songs of Praise is at 5 p.m., when we hope to hear a few memories from those who were there.
I look forward to seeing you if you can come along.
Every blessing
Father. Paul.
