The Annual Art Exhibition which has been held in church for more than 30 years took place over the Ban Holiday Weekend. The work of more than 40 artists was on display with the opportunity for the works to be purchased.Over the weekend more than 80 pieces of art work were sold.The event brings many visitors into the church to enjoy the art, but also to enjoy the church building and all it has to offer.Our thanks go to all who contributed to the success of the event - the volunteers who work tirelessly to make it a success, the visitors and purchasers, but most of all to the artists who share their work and without whom the event could not take place.The event will return in in 2027 - 28th - 30th August 2027.
POP-UP PLANT AND CAKE SALE On Saturday 11th July we held an extremely successful plant and cake sale at Pagham Church Centre, Nyetimber Lane. The event raised much needed funding for the church but was also very successful social afternoon. This event was only made possible by the generosity of a number of local businesses providing us with the produce to sell and we are very grateful for all of their support. Newey Wholesale Plant Nursery provided a large selection of plants - Hydrangeas, Gerberas, Cana Lillies, Sunflowers and Begonias Vitacress provided boxes of herbs and larger pots of herbs - Rosemary, Basil, Thyme. Coriander, Parsley and Mint Barfoots provided a large selection of fresh vegetables - Sweet Corn, Butternut Squash, Green Beans, Broccoli and Courgettes. Donations from Runcton Farm Shop and Manor Nursery. Large numbers of people visited during the afternoon to snap up the plants and produce, and also to purchase some delicious home made cakes. Tea, coffee and home made cakes were served throughout the afternoon with people staying to sit and chat. Thank you to all who supported this event and once again thank you to our generous donators of produce.

This year’s Thy Kingdom Come is all about the presence of God through His spirit. Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer. The God who is with us in the everyday – in the joys and sorrows of life (and everything in between) and the One who, through His spirit, longs to reveal Himself to those who do not yet know Him. We invite you to pray at the prayer stations around the Church
