On Saturday 11 September the Friends of Kent Churches are having their annual Ride and Stride event.

It means that by biking, walking or running, or riding a horse even, between churches, you can raise money for this charity by getting yourself sponsored. You can plan your own journey. You can do just two churches, or 700 ( I think that’s about the total number in Kent).

It would be great if you could help us raise money, hopefully in an enjoyable way, for a charity that has been very generous to our church.

It has helped, for example, to make our church weatherproof, and its interior fit for our funerals, weddings and concerts.

Please text Maggie on 07910 69 16 11 if you would like a sponsor form.

Thank you very much.

We hope you like this new look website for Goodnestone.

We are still adding content from the old website so please bear with us while content is updated. The addresses of most pages on the website have changed, so if you have links to individual pages, you may need to update these.

The new website is much easier to view on smaller devices such as mobile phones and tablets. It uses a more modern platform which makes it easier to manage.

The change also makes the website more accessible meaning it is easier to use for people with disability.

The relatively simple design was chosen to make the website as accessible as possible and to make it easy to navigate and maintain.

It is possible for people to have their own page or pages on this website that they maintain. If you are interested in doing this, please use the link to the contact form at the bottom of this page.
