Candlemas Evensong

for 1 hour
Saint Andrew's
Church Rd West Tarring Worthing, BN13 1HQ, United Kingdom

Forty days after celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, we come together for Candlemas, marking the close of the Christmas season and remembering the day when Jesus was presented in the Temple, offered to the Father and revealed to his people. We recall how Simeon and Anna recognised him as Lord, and we reflect on both the joy of his coming among us and the searching judgement that calls us to renewal. This special service looks back to the wonder of Christ’s birth and forward to the journey of his passion — and all are warmly invited to join us as we worship together in choral evensong.

Saint Andrew's

St Andrew's Church serves the local community of Tarring. We are located at the heart of the most historic part of Worthing, a mile or so from the West Sussex coast and only a short distance from West Worthing train station. 

St Andrew's is a beautiful church where the Christian faith has been celebrated for over 800 years, holding a deep connection to the thriving village community. We believe in the transforming love of Christ and the joy of walking this journey in fellowship with one another.

St Andrew's is part of the Benefice of Maybridge and West Tarring, which also includes St Richards. 

Now that you have found us, have a look at the services and events we have taking place soon. 

Everybody is welcome!
