Holy Communion

As a church family we like people to feel included in our Holy Communion services. However if you are unable to attend church on those Sundays, or you know someone who would like to receive Home Communion because they are physically unable to attend church, then please contact shorehamparish@gmail.com and we will add you to our list for visits for Home Communion once a month.

Breakfast Church

We would still like to widen the number of people helping to shop and cook breakfast for Breakfast Church. If you enjoy coming, why not think about joining in to make it happen. Please see Jill Aisher, text 07989 278723 or email jill.aisher@gmail.com if you can help.
