At the heart of our Church Family is the celebration of the 10.30am Sunday Eucharist. The Lord's own service, for the Lord's own people, on the Lord's own day. There is a Family Service at 10.30am on the first Sunday in the month, a non-communion service lasting about 45minutes.
Please do visit the Church, to join us in our Sunday Worship at 10.30am, or to pause and pray awhile. The Church is open on Sundays after our service until 4pm, and on Wednesdays from 9am to 4pm.
The Churchyard is achingly beautiful and over the centuries many of the Villagers of Sedlescombe have found their resting place here. There is a memorial book to remember the Souls of the Faithful Departed, whose names are included in our Church Family prayers on their anniversary day.
As we are currently in Interregnum, for any further details please contact the Church Wardens:- Trevor Palmer on 01424 870830 or Jane Wallis on 01424 870240, or by email at [email protected].
