Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team – 20 Years of Service

by

This year we celebrate 20 years of BHCT. Since 2004 BHCT has been seeking out, reaching out, giving support, offering hope and saving lives at Beachy Head.

In that time there have been 102 Chaplains operational at Beachy Head all members of local churches and all called to serve Jesus and follow his example to serve others. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:9-10.

On 20th August at 7:30pm there will be a re commissioning of the BHCT team, celebration event, at St John the Evangelist Church Eastbourne. Also to celebrate our 20th anniversary we have produced a video about our work. The video is available in a longer format of 10 mins or a short formatted 3 mins which is suitable for using in a church, mission or prayer event.

Deaf Ministry in Eastbourne

by

Tracey Hughes from St John’s Meads has a passion for Deaf ministry in Eastbourne. Victoria Baptist Church holds a monthly community café within which they have an area for BSL users and learners and occasionally have services signed. Tracey has recently gained her Level three signing and has 14 years of experience and has occasionally signed services at St John’s Meads. Are there any other signers in Eastbourne who would be interested in joining her in signing in services? Are there other churches interested in providing signed services for the Deaf? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could facilitate a monthly signed service in Eastbourne and, in time, a weekly service possibly at different churches? Let’s help make things accessible for this community. If you have skills or are interested in pursuing this, contact Rev George Fisher –
Email: revgeorgefisher@gmail.com. Message: 07579 058653.
