Service Schedule Update
From Easter Sunday, our service pattern will return to parallel services of Holy Communion at 9am and 11am, fortnightly 3pm services for younger families, and quieter 6pm services of either Holy Communion or evensong. We will also be offering a live-stream from one of our morning services for anyone not feeling ready to attend church in person just yet but would still like to participate in our worship online.
Please remember that you need to book in to attend any of our services in church and you can do this either through our What’s On page, by emailing sundayservicebookings@horshamstmarys.org.uk or calling 01403 283786 and leaving a message to let us know which service you would like to attend. Booking for each Sunday will open on the Monday before the service, and close at 7pm on the Saturday evening ahead of the services the following day.
The church remains open for private prayer Monday through to Saturday between 10am and 1pm. There is no need to book in if you wish to visit the church during this time.

As we continue to face new challenges and uncertainties, we do so in the company of Jesus, who understands our anxieties, and our loneliness, and promises to be with us always.
“The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:5-7.
With my prayers for you,
Lisa
