The Rt Rev Paul Davies, the recently appointed Bishop of Dorking, will be our celebrant at this Sunday’s Holy Communion at Dunsfold Church.Bishop Paul became the 6th Bishop of Dorking last September when he succeeded Rt Rev Jo Bailey Wells. In his previous role as Archdeacon of Surrey, he was a regular visitor to Dunsfold and Hascombe churches.Bishop Paul arrived in our diocese in 2017. In his new role he is challenged to bring ‘a strategic head and pastoral heart’ to the three main priorities in the role which are detailed as stewardship of our environment, nurturing the faith of young people and encouraging vocations.We hope you can join us on Sunday to extend to Bishop Paul a warm Dunsfold welcome.

Call in and have a lovely break from your routine Saturday.
A huge thank you to everybody in Dunsfold who played their part in raising funds during Christian Aid Week 2024. The donation from church as a result of the Cafe Church collection at the Winn Hall was £110. This year’s Christian Aid focus is their work in Burundi and our service featured insights into the massive challenges faced in one of the world’s poorest countries.A few days later a coffee morning and bring and buy sale was held at Chennels Cottage, Dunsfold. The beautiful weather encouraged a bumper turn-out of new friends and old. The guests, and subsequent donors, were wonderfully generous in donating £580.79 to Christian Aid.A team of helpers made the coffee morning very special. As ever, the secret to our success was team work.
