The Big Church Read (starting 20th October)

We are planning to join in with other churches, throughout the country, during October and November to do The Big Church Read.  We will be reading Bear Grylls' book 'The Greatest Story Ever Told' which is an eyewitness account of Jesus' life and ministry. It is an exciting opportunity for personal growth and mission for all of us. 

Bereavement Course (starting 29th September)

Grief is hard. Death can impact all of life. For anyone bereaved at any time, please see the 7-session course starting on 29th September at St John's Southbourne. Further details under the "News and Events" section.

New Archdeacon of Chichester

The Reverend Dr Tom Carpenter, from Holy Trinity & St Luke's Southport, will be installed at the Cathedral on 28^th September at 3 pm. We will look forward to greeting him in our Parish in the future.

Important Anniversaries in 2025

We have been reminded by our visiting priests that Bishop Martin instructed the Diocese last year that we should all be sharing the Chalice during the Act of Communion and not to intinct (dip our wafers in the wine). This is because drinking from the silver Chalice is less of an infection risk than dipping the wafer. We have been told that if we do not wish to drink from the Chalice we can take communion by sharing the bread only.

Parish Magazine Support

The Commissioning Editors of our much loved and widely respected Parish Magazine have received encouraging messages of support to enlarge the production and delivery team. Volunteers are still needed but we are making progress. We had lots of visitors to the Parish Magazine stand at the VE Day Celebrations on 10th May. The Pimm's was particularly popular!

Back numbers of the Parish Magazine are now available online from March 2025 back to April 2021 - see the menu above
