Saturday 30 November – New date

No, not another bookshop crime writers’ event, but a fascinating presentation from the Friends of Steyning Parish Church, on Saturday 30 November (St Andrew’s Day), starting at 4pm in church. This free event, with a refreshment break, reveals the results of meticulous research by the Friends and Steyning Museum that found some of the names on our vicars’ board were not vicars of Steyning at all, while some ‘genuine’ vicars were missing from the list.

Taizé Service

Sunday 24 November, 6pm

Please join us for a short, peaceful Taizé service.

The Taizé service is based around simple chants; you are free to join in or not, according to your preference, a very short reading, a prayer and a period of silent meditation.

This will be the first of what we hope will become a regular monthly meditation.
