Diocese Lent Course 2026
This year in Matthew, we’ll take in Jesus’ birth, his calling of disciples, his authority as a teacher, his miracles, and his upcoming passion. And every Sunday, our Gospel reading will add another brushstroke to our picture of Christ. As we see Jesus fulfil God’s promise we’ll be encouraged and equipped to live out the Mystery of Faith.  Click here for the Lent Course documentation.

Thank you.

Anyone we do not hear from who was on the old list will have their information deleted shortly. Thank you.

170 Years of Holy Cross SchoolHoly Cross Church of England School, Uckfield, closed at the end of the Christmas term in 2023, having served the children in the town for c. 170 years.  To commemorate this event, Bridge Cottage and a group of former staff, parents and governors at the school put together an exhibition in early 2024 showing the life of the school. Following on from the exhibition, a new Booklet has been produced to Celebrate those 170 Years.  This was launched at the Holy Cross Spring Festival in May 2025 and can be purchased for £3 from the Uckfield Heritage Charity Shop or from Bridge Cottage.
