At our Family Eucharist on Sunday 21st September 2008, our Diocesan Bishop, the Bishop of Chichester The Right Reverend John Hind was our president and preacher. The Bishop was assisted by Fathers Andrew and Ray and the servers as we celebrated the life and witness of St Matthew and the work of a Bishop. 

The children from Nyewood Infant and Junior Church led various bits of our service. The Junior School, under the direction of Jane Wells explored what the children thought a Bishop did. It was very interesting that the children thought the Bishop told clergy off! The Infant School, under the direction of Jacqui Cobb led the Intercessions praying for the Bishop and all who lead the church. 

After the service, the Bishop joined members of the congregation for a buffet-style lunch. Our thanks to Anne Latter and the Wives Group for organising the food.
