On Wednesday 27th January in All Hallows, Tillington, Bishop Ruth of Horsham licensed the Reverend Dr David Crook to be Priest in Charge of the parishes of Tillington, Duncton and Upwaltham, in addition to Stopham and Fittleworth.  We send him our very best wishes for this new appointment.

The church is open every day for private prayer but, sadly, not for communal worship for the time being.

Every Sunday there will be two online services via Zoom: a contemporary Praise service at 9.30am, and a traditional Book of Common Prayer Matins service at 11.00am.

Please contact our Priest-in-charge to receive a weekly email message, including the Zoom link for these services.

As West Sussex is now in Tier 4 and the government advice is to stay at home, church services in January will revert to being held on-line via Zoom. Please contact our Priest-in-charge for further information.  The church will remain open for private prayer only.

Due to coronavirus reducing the safe maximum capacity of Stopham Church, a booking system has been in place for the 11am Christmas Day service. With regret, there is no further space in the Church on Christmas Day.

As an alternative, you are invited to book a place (david.crook15@btinternet.com or 01798 865473) ASAP for one of the following services:

Fittleworth Carol Service on Sunday 20th at 3.30pm

Fittleworth Christmas Eve Midnight Mass at 11.30pm

Fittleworth Christmas Day morning service at 9.15am

Tillington Christmas Day morning service at 9.30am

Please note:

Social distancing will be observed and face masks must be worn by everyone.
All services may be subject to change due to Covid 19.

Due to the new lockdown regulations we will not be able to hold services in church for the rest of this month.  However, the church will remain open during the day for private prayer.  There will still be a short wreath laying ceremony at the war memorial on Remembrance Sunday.
