September 2008
Our Curate, Rev. Kevin Cable, had his Ordination Service at Rochester Cathedral on Saturday 6th September at 3pm. It was a truly uplifting service, not only for Kevin and his family and friends but also for those of us from St Augustine's who went to support him.

The Barnard Room has been refurbished in memory of James Denton. Below you can see the Barnard Room as it was before the work started, and how it looks now. There is new lighting, new curtains and a warmer colour scheme.
May 2008
25th May - we enjoyed a splendid Church Family Lunch in the Scout HQ put on by our Social Committee. Roast beef with all the trimmings! Cooked to perfection, a fine feat from our catering team particularly when cooking for so many people. The same evening, at 6:30pm, we had a 'Cafe Worship' service on the theme of prayer with special guest Matt Fry who led our worship in music. Matt was interviewed at the beginning of the service and it was a great opportunity to get to know him ahead of our Parish Weekend at Pilgrim Hall in October, where he will again be leading our worship. The service was extremely well attended; the atmosphere was relaxed but vibrant and these once-a-month Evening Praise/Cafe Worship services are proving a welcome addition to our schedule.
April 2008
28th April - our new Parish Administrator, Kathy True, started today! Welcome Kathy, we really hope you enjoy your time with us at St Augustine's.
27th April - our Annual Parochial Church Meeting (the equivalent of an 'AGM') took place this evening and we were very pleased to appoint Pam Poynter as Churchwarden in place of Liz Carter, who had been one of our Churchwardens for the past 6 years. I'm sure everyone at St Augustine's would like to join us in thanking Liz for the absolutely dedicated and cheerful way she has served our church in this role. We were also delighted to welcome Paul Butteris and Esther Ballantyne on to our PCC for the first time.
More news will follow on the 'Back to Church Sunday' initiative which will culminate in an invitation service at St Augustine's and many other churches in September 2008.
