Welcome to Saint Nicholas Church Saltdean

      Our Revised Services Father George

    As a part of our Mission Action Plan we set out to revise the services that we offer at St Nicholas, Saltdean to grow our church family.

    Some of the services will remain the same and at the same times. With the introduction of new services we hope to grow a diverse and inclusive church family. Our regular services are centered around Holy Communion, which is fine for the Confirmed & Committed, but for those searching a faith there is no alternative introduction.

    The role of a Parish Church is to be as inclusive as we can; we have positively responded to the recent ‘Changing Attitudes’ survey which is to demonstrate how inclusive the Parish Church is to the many differing lifestyles of today and that we have in our community. The ‘Changing Attitudes’ survey was positively supported and welcomed by the Bishop of Chichester.

    The new pattern of the services, aims to reach out to parents and young families, by introducing a Family Service on the second Sunday of each month. Together with the more traditional Church of England service of Mattins or Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer with hymns and sermon on weeks 1, 3, 4, & 5.

    Feedback from the people of the parish has indicated that the community feels we should offer other services to explore the meaning of our faith. For our existing regular and faithful parishioners there will still be the traditional Holy Communion services. The 10.30 service will now start at 11.00am and will finish at 11.45 as usual, in time for coffee after the service.

    I would hope that all our parishoners will feel able to give their full support, and the Lord's House will fill on the Lord's Day.

    Yours  Sincerely,

    G.J. Butterworth. Vicar.
