services at Elsted

a message from the churchwarden

Worship at Elsted generally conforms to the following pattern each month:

1st Sunday - Evensong 6pm
2nd Sunday - Benefice Eucharist 10am
3rd Sunday - Evensong 6pm (except when at Didling)
4th Sunday - Benefice Eucharist 10am

Our Eucharist services follow the Church of England form of Common Worship which includes the more modern form of the Eucharist / Holy Communion. Our Evensong services still follow the pattern set down in the Book of Common Prayer as included in Common Worship.

All are welcome to join us for Eucharist or Evensong services. We invite baptised members of all trinitarian Christian churches to take communion. If you do not take communion you are invited to participate in the service by approaching the altar to receive a blessing.

If any of the terminology I've used above seems exclusive or alien to you please don't let it put you off. Our services are intended to be open to all who want to share in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
