Our centenary celebrations conclude with a visit from the Bishop of Chichester, Dr Martin Warner to mark the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the church.

Dr Warner’s predecessor, Bishop Winfrid Burrows, led the service of consecration on 5 December 1924 in a packed church where no spare seat was available. During the service the altar was blessed and prayers said at the belfry, font and chancel.

Join us as we celebrate 100 years of mission and ministry in Lancing.
