Winchelsea Village Voice
ALTHOUGH JANUARY is a fairly quiet month in Winchelsea there are many forthcoming events to look out for and you will need to book tickets in good time.
POPULAR FOAM QUIZ will take place on Saturday February 28th at 6.30pm in the New Hall. The Friends of the Ancient Monuments invite teams of six people per table at £16 each to compete in the Quiz. This includes a delicious hot meal and pudding!To book your place please contact [email protected] soon to avoid a last minute rush for tables. You will also need to be prepared for “an eclectic mix of eccentric, unusual and frankly bizarre questions” which might include the Normans, 1066 and all that! FOAM is a registered charity and funds raised will go towards maintaining the town’s historic buildings.
WINCHELSEA ARTS continues its series of concerts with ‘Poulenc and Friends: the Music of Les Six’. The performance features pianists Pascal Rogé and Elena Font and will take place on Saturday March 14th at 7.30pm in St Thomas’s Church. Tickets are available online at winchelsea-arts.org.uk and the cost is £25 per person (under 18s free). Any remaining tickets are sold on the door. Pascal Rogé represents the finest in French pianism and is well-known for his skilful interpretations of the French repertoire. He returns to Winchelsea to perform solo and duet works with Elena Font. The concert will highlight music by Les Six, a group of six composers living in Paris during the first half of the twentieth century as well as the inspiring music of Eric Satie.
AFTERNOON PRAYERS are held midweek on Wednesdays at 3pm in St Thomas’s Church. All are invited to come along and join with the gathering to intercede for the world, the local community and the church. The Lord Jesus hears the prayers of his people as stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. God promises, in response to these actions: overcoming pride, praying, seeking God’s presence and repenting of sin, to listen, forgive and bring healing.
