Latest Church News

We have sent off the £1,000 odd that was collected 2 weeks ago for the DEC Pakistan Appeal at our morning services. What a fantastic total! If you didn’t have an opportunity to give, you can still do so by going to http://www.dec.org.uk/  or by phoning 0370 60 60 900

If you have a message for the Prayer Chain, please do not call the usual number this week, but get in touch with Elsie Ayers, whose telephone number can be found in the Magazine. The September copy of Shore Line is in the church porch right now.

Historic Churches Ride and Stride

Saturday 11th September

If you would like to take part in the event, make contact with our Local Organiser (Bob Cranmore) or speak to Gail who is hoping to do either riding or striding that day—probably in the Bramber area. Cyclists, Walkers, Horse Riders and Wheelchair users are all welcome to take part in this event. Half the money you raise is given to your nominated church, the other half to Sussex Historic Churches Trust. You can be sponsored either by the number of churches you visit or by flat donations. There is no fixed route: you can explore as much (or as little) of the Sussex as you wish.

Some literature is available on the table at the back of the church, or for more information visit: http://www.sussexhistoricchurches.org.uk/index.php
