Service
Times 2011
Unless otherwise stated, all services start at 10.00am and last for
approximately an hour. The service style is quite traditional with
Choral Matins using the Book of Common Prayer, alternating on a
monthly basis with Parish Communion using the Common Worship
liturgy. Both forms of service are appropriate to this ancient Downland
church, where formality meets
informality in a very friendly and relaxed
environment.
You are welcome whether or not you live locally, or whether or not you
are a
church goer.
We have also shown the nearest Saints Days (italics) and how the
Sunday
itself is named in the Christian calendar. An ancient poem
called the "Gardener's Calendar" is reproduced in the Noticeboard
section and
was a gardener's tool to remember when to plant in
relation to the
Saints Days. If you are interested in the full Liturgical Calendar for 2011, click here

If you are a casual visitor and would like to see the church, or if you
are tempted to see what a religious service is like in an old Sussex
church, then you are more than welcome. The church is open every day.
