The half point in Lent, also known as Refreshment Sunday. Our service will give thanks both for mothers and for our 'Mother Church' in this Diocese - Chichester Cathedral, the focus of our unity for all our diverse churches across the Diocese of Chichester.

Holy Week begins with the distribution of palm crosses and a procession from the Village Hall to the church (if it is not raining!) for the weekly Parish Eucharist which will include a dramatised reading of the Passion Gospel.

A celebration of the Institution of Holy Communion at Jesus' Last Supper, with optional involvement in the Foot Washing Jesus carried out that evening.
