Common Worship.
A candlelit traditional festival of lessons and carols.
Always a big and joyous occasion for the village.
Our group grows and grows. We have recently welcomed three new ladies from Etchingham.
The church is next to the OFSTED 'outstanding' primary school. Children drop in to the church on their way to school for a drink, biscuits and a chat. Having left their children at school, parents, carers and toddlers can then come back in for coffee and a snack. Lots of Mums and Dads enjoy this, and the Tuesday Drop-In is often an initial step into the church and has led on to baptisms and participation in the life of the church.
Only during term-time, of course!
Join our thriving Parent & Toddler Group in the Swan Meadow Sports Hall on Tuesdays.
There will be a few missed Tuesdays: please watch the Burwash Village Magazine or contact the Rector to check.
Every Tuesday.
