Regular events

There are numerous events that take place at the Church and in its halls during the course of each year to which all are welcome.  The following gives a flavour of some of the regular events:

Easter

Easter is an important time in the Christian calendar.  Easter Day is celebrated by the congregation by decorating a cross in flowers.

Drama

College Park Players have, in the past, put on a play in April each year and a pantomime or festive play in early December.  Proceeds were in aid of various charities and/or the church.

Church Outing

The church normally has an outing each September to a place of interest.  Visits have included Hever Castle, Scotney Castle and Ightham Mote.  We have travelled on the Kent & East Sussex Railway from Tenterden to Bodiam Castle and visited Dover Castle for a display of ‘Falconry of the Victorian Age’.

Christmas

Christmas is, of course, another time of celebration and this is done in style at Burnt Ash with a candlelit carol service.  On Christmas Day, the children have a chance to show off their presents to the congregation.
