ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH, MOULSECOMBE
During
the dark winter months, the Rev. W. H. Carpenter and Mrs Carpenter,
together with a band of willing helpers and vocalists, have endeavoured
to give pleasure to the parishioners of Moulsecombe by inaugurating
fortnightly socials and concerts, which have been held in the Church
Hut. Wednesday evening again saw a delighted congregation, and another
enjoyable evening was spent in witnessing a varied concert and kinema
programme, in aid of necessary repairs to the Hut.Very little is known outside the estate of the uphill work which is being carried on by St. Andrew's. A branch of the Mothers’ Union has been formed and is making steady progress. During the last week in February about sixteen members of the congregation will be admitted into the C.E.M.S.
Another interesting event is to take place on Shrove Tuesday — a second social and trading sale, in which articles made by contributors are sold by Dutch auction, and the proceeds devoted to the building fund. Every endeavour is being made to raise a further £50 before Easter. A larger and a more and more permanent edifice is much needed in Moulsecombe, and Mr Carpenter has worked exceedingly hard during the short time he has been there. Up to the present £450 has been subscribed.
Dr. R. J. Campbell, of Holy Trinity, has among others, promised to preach during lent.

THE CHURCH AT MOULSECOMBE
Brightons
new garden suburb at Moulsecombe is holding its first sale of work, in
aid of the building fund for the new church, on Tuesday next. The sale
is to be held at the Royal Pavilion. The formal opening will be
performed at 5 p.m. by the Countess of Chichester, supported by
distinguished patrons.
Among those who have promised their patronage are the Earl and Countess of Chichester, the Archdeacon of Lewes, the Vicar of Brighton, the Countess Brassey, Lady Leconfield, Lady George Loftus, the Hon Mrs Colvin, Miss Burrows, Mrs Hicks, Mrs Dormer Pierce, Mrs Barker, Mrs Allen West, Mrs Edmunds, Rear-Admiral Beamish, C.B., M.P., and Major Warren.
The Rev. W. H. Carpenter, who is in charge, and Mrs Carpenter are keenly supported by a keen body of church workers who are bravely facing the huge task which lies before them.
The building fund was started at the Church Festival on St. Andrew’s Day last December and during the last nine months between £700 and £800 has been given. A Church Traders’ Association has been started in which each member uses his skill in making articles, and this sale in the direct outcome.
It is an urgent task that lies before the church in Moulsecombe, and willing as the residents are to do their best, the interest and support of church people is earnestly sought. Moulsecombe is a Diocesan Mission, and has received liberal support from the Diocesan Fund.
The site for the new church and vicarage is an excellent one in the very centre of Moulsecombe. It is already secured and paid for.
The sale takes place at the close of the Diocesan Council, which meets in the Dome on the same day, and it is hoped that Council members and others interested in this new mission will give it their best support.

MOULSECOMBE CHURCH SALE
A
first and highly successful sale of work was held in the King’s
Apartments of the Royal Pavilion on Tuesday in aid of the building fund
for the new church at Moulsecombe. The sale was the direct outcome of a
newly formed Moulsecombe Church Traders’ Association, in which
each member uses his skill in making articles.
Moulsecombe is at the present time a Diocesan Mission under the charge of the Rev. W. H. Carpenter and Mrs Carpenter, who have gathered round them a keen body of church workers. They joined together in supporting the Church Traders’, C.E.M.S., Sunday School, and Refreshment stalls. Other stalls given by individual friends were: Sweet stall, Mrs Williams; Wireless stall, Major Warren and Mr J. H. West. Music was supplied by Miss Adele Jouanno’s Orchestra.
The opening ceremony was gracefully performed by the Countess of Chichester, who was the recipient of a beautiful bouquet. The Countess was thanked for her kindly presence on the motion of Mr L. Walter, seconded by Mr P. Cavell.
The Rev. W. H. Carpenter said that the people of Moulsecombe have had every encouragement from outside friends in the hard task that is before them. The building fund, he said, was started last December with £10, but is now not far short of £800. (Applause.) “What we are most anxious to do,” he added, “is to reach £2,000 as soon as possible, so that we may see something of the beginning of the work.”
Those present at the sale included the Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of Lewes, the Vicar of Brighton (Canon F. C. N. Hicks, D.D.) and Mrs Hicks, Miss Burrows, Mrs Gerald Moore, Miss McKellar, and about sixty clergy.
