There will only be one service in the Parish on Sunday 29 December at Washington Church at 10am. All are welcome!

This year’s Christmas offering across the Parish will go to ‘Family Support Work’, a faith-motivated charity providing services for families in Sussex, helping to overcome difficulties and prevent crisis. They aim to support parents to ensure their children have the best start in life.  More information here.

Whether you’ve been here for a month, six months or a year, come to our ‘Connection Lunch’ on Sunday 12 January in Ashington Church. Time to connect with others and build community over a light lunch. Email Ruth Parnell if you’d like to attend or if you can help. welcome@chanctonbury.org.uk.

We are setting aside January as a month of prayer and worship to engage with the Father’s heart together and commit the year to the Lord as a family, praying for His presence and glory to impact lives and communities. More information about Daily Morning Prayer and Worship Nights here.

The Church Office is now closed and will re-open on Monday 6 January. The next Church News will be sent out on Thursday 9 January.  All of the staff at Chanctonbury Church want to wish everyone a Very Happy Christmas. See you at our services!
