Shoreham has a Roman Catholic, Baptist and Methodist Church and Shoreham Free Church which together with the five Anglican churches form Shoreham Churches Together. There is also a small Strict Baptist Church, a Quaker Meeting and a newly formed branch of the Church of Christ the King. There are strong ecumenical links within Shoreham Churches Together and many activities take place. These include quarterly joint evening services, services during the week of prayer for Christian Unity, Lent groups or talks, the Women’s World Day of Prayer Celebration, the Good Friday Act of Witness and the Town Christian Aid Collection and a ‘unity’ candle which is passed between the various churches by the laity on a monthly basis. There have also been some social events, a children’s holiday club and a bereavement support group has recently been set up. |
