Duggie Dug Dug in Chandlers Ford

The Parish of Chandlers Ford are excited to be hosting a Praise Party lead by Doug Horley, otherwise known as Duggie Dug Dug!

Doug has a national and international ministry working with children and song writing. Some years ago his song, "We want to see Jesus lifted high", was chosen as the theme song for the Global March for Jesus event and sung by some 25 million people in 176 countries. Doug is a recording artist signed to EMI/Kingsway and he has written many other songs that have become children's favourites in churches across the planet.
With his team he travels widely putting on family praise parties, seminars and "adult" celebrations.

Doug will be here on Saturday 31st January, the programme will be:

Seminar for children's workers
  (over 16's) 2.00pm-4.00pm.  Tickets are £7.00.

Praise party for families with children aged 11 years and under from 6.00pm-7.30pm. Tickets £3.00, under 3 years free.

Tickets and further information available from the Parish office, tel. 023 8026 5977 (9.00am- 1.00pm Monday - Friday).

Both these events will be held at St. Boniface Church in Hursley Road.


Traidcraft stalls at St Boniface and St Martin in the Wood

Traidcraft logo There are regular Traidcraft stalls at both churches. It would be wonderful if, as in previous years, the stalls could be well supported. Remember, supporting Traidcraft means that you are backing producers and their families from many of the world's poorest areas.

The stalls are usually held on the last Sunday of the month at St. Boniface after the 10.00am service, and the first Sunday of the month at St. Martins.
The Traidcraft stalls at St. Martin's Church follow the 9.15am service, but you don't have to come to the service! You are more than welcome to come to the church after 10.30am, have a coffee and take a look at the stall.

Music and Worship book

Music & Worship

by Hugh Benham

Out now, Music and Worship by Dr Hugh Benham, Organist at St Boniface.
A 52 page booklet centring on the music and worship of a suburban parish in Southern Hampshire. Church music (wherever it falls on the scale that extends from formal/traditional to happy-clappy) can easily become inward-looking and self-satisfied. This book considers why we do what we do, about the meaning of some of the words we sing and pray.

Price £4 Copies are available from the Parish Office and at both churches on Sundays.

Proceeds will go to St Anne’s Hospital, Liuli.
