Help in the churchyard: The View from the Churchyard – Peter Berry Hello, it’s September already and change is in the air. Mornings are feeling a bit autumnal. Heavier dews. We used to call this hop picking weather closely followed by potato lifting. In rural schools in Kent & Sussex attendance was always down until these jobs were done. Our village schools were no different. Young labour was useful on many farms. Over a century ago. Different days! Thank you for your support in our efforts in the churchyard. We work amongst those some of whom lived in the times I was referring to and even earlier. We have some tree work to get done but we are making headway. Can I make a suggestion. I feel we owe this lovely spot and those who are there remembered a better fence at the bottom by the concrete road. I am a bit ashamed of the state of the current one. It need not be lavish but should look like we care. The swallows will be off south soon, let’s have our new fence by their return in April. If you can help or support us in any way give me a shout. Thanks. Peter Berry. 07815459075 Posted: 18.09.2025 |

Giving to the Church: We are so grateful for any donations you are able to make. In a rapidly increasing cashless world, we are excited to announce that the church is now equipped with a cashless giving machine. Donations can be made easily using a credit or debit card. Simply select the cause you would like to donate to and the amount you wish to donate and tap your card on the top of the machine. We are currently collecting for the general church fund, and our appeal for funds towards the churchyard. Contact Gaynor for further details. Posted: 31.12.2023 |

A plug for Homegroups. Currently about a third of the church attend an online home group. There are two at present: (Weekly) Tuesday mornings 10.30 - 11.30 am; (Fortnightly) Thursday evenings 7.30 pm. Over the past couple of years the groups have been a lifeline to many, particularly those who live alone. Apart from a short Bible study and discussion they do provide an opportunity to socialise and pray for one another when the need arises. The groups are also opening up to those who attend our Sunday services online. Covid has taken its toll and the general Sunday in-person attendance has suffered as a result. However, homegroups provide a constant source of fellowship and support which spiritually buoy’s us up and helps with our general wellbeing and mental health. Details have been sent out to the church family via email but do get in touch if you would like to join one or just give it a go. Office email: admin@framfieldchurch.org.uk. Posted: 22.11.2021 |

Web site for St Thomas a Becket Our church website has now been running for over fifteen years. This third redesign, mainly to adapt to the ever increasing number of users on phones and tablets and their smaller screens, went live on 16th August 2020. The site aims to be a useful resource to church members, and also to reach out to potential new members. We hope you will take a look and find it useful. We try very hard to keep it up to date and relevant. Any questions, comments or suggestions, email us here Posted: 16.08.2020 |
