Services at All Hallows Tillington
For details of Virtual Services via Zoom please see the NEWS page
Church opening. We have given a huge amount of thought to this difficult area, and we have read yards of advice from the government and from the diocese. For the time being we consider that the “conditions" required and the renewed risk of infection combine to make it unrealistic to re-open the church just yet. The supervision required, the methods and frequency of cleaning, the absence of washing facilities, the social distancing, and vulnerability of many of our normal congregation have brought us to the conclusion that we should wait a little longer. We are thinking to restart some services in September, and we are also exploring ways of honouring bookings for weddings, with some strict conditions.
In the meantime we would welcome you to use the churchyard as a place for peaceful prayer and reflection
The All Age Service Team are also planning a special ‘All Age Service’ to be held in the open air in the Church grounds on Sunday 9th August, at 11.00am. This should be a very special occasion, so please mark the date. More details later.
Some of you have asked about Communion services. We understand that Father Mark is holding regular ‘one-kind’ (bread alone) communion services at St Marys in Petworth.
Weddings, Baptisms and Funerals: Contact Angela Gresham Cooke 01798 342151
Everything below is cancelled until further notice.
The church community is taking every opportunity to ensure the well being of each person in the village and surrounding area, especially those who live alone or who are confined in self isolation because of age or health issues.
Please be in touch with The Church Wardens if you have a need or know of anyone who needs support.
