World Day of Prayer

Friday 6th March, part of a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice.
Horsham’s World Day of Prayer Service will be at 1:30 pm on Friday 6th March 2026 at St John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 3 Springfield Road Horsham RH12 2PJ. The 2026 World Day of Prayer materials from Nigeria bring us a powerful invitation drawn from Matthew 11:28-30. At a time when people worldwide are carrying heavy burdens, our Nigerian sisters offer profound insights into finding rest in God.

Walks

There will be an opportunity to enjoy a walk of 6-8 miles on Saturday 7th March from the West Grinstead Station car park. The actual route will partly depend on the weather between now and then and the state of the paths but we will meet at church at 9.45am. There will be an afternoon stroll on 20th March.

News of Valerie Dilnot

It is with sadness that we have learned of the death of Valerie after a short illness. She and her family worshipped at Brighton Road some years ago and she taught in Crusaders along with Eryl Thomas and Teresa Barker. We rejoice she is now ‘Home’ with her Lord and that she is reunited with John. We give thanks for her life and her faithful Christian service. We remember Sally, Amanda and Judith in our prayers.
