St Nicholas Church

Welcome to our 12th Century church

on Thorney Island, in Chichester Harbour

Join us for a service

Please do join us for our regular Sunday Service

All welcome, Sundays at 10.30am


The new liturgical year officially begins on the First Sunday of Advent, 29th November 2026.

However, during the month of November there are some important events.


1st November the feast of All Saints remembers and celebrates the whole Church across time and space. We honour the example of the lives of the Saints and rejoice in the continued communion with them through membership and participation in the body of Christ.


8th November St Nicholas and our Padre and Servicemen and women take part in a special service to honour the fallen military personnel, veterans, and all those affected by war and conflict. Join us at 10.00 for a Service of Remembrance followed by a moving ceremony which takes place around our War Graves.


22nd November is Christ the King. This is a major festival on the final Sunday of the liturgical year. It is the grand finale of the Christian calendar proclaiming Jesus Christ’s ultimate sovereignty over all creation before the cycle resets with the anticipation of Advent.








Heavenly Father,

We pray for those who have died and whose memory we treasure.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God,

rest in peace and rise in glory

Amen
