The
church is in the mainstream Anglican tradition and worship is centred on the
celebration of the Eucharist. Vestments are worn and servers and choir are
robed. Incense is used on occasions at major feast days. The services follow
Common Worship and vary to accommodate the different congregations. |

The Pilgrims service is designed to encourage families with younger children. A small group meet with the incumbent to arrange details of the Pilgrims and family services. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the mainstream services there is a weekly Toddlers service and a monthly Eucharist for Healing (held at St Mary’s). Other services and prayers for healing are held throughout the month, are lay-led and based on the service used at The Burrswood Christian Healing Centre. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The
church is well served by a sacristan, with assistants to help out as
necessary; a team of five vergers, eleven servers of all ages, six lay
ministers of communion, a large team of sidesmen and a team of six
intercessors who lead the prayers at the 9.30 service. Old and New Testament
readings at these services are read by members of the congregation. There
are strongly committed teams of flower arrangers and cleaners who keep the
church looking attractive at all times. St. Nicolas’ enjoys good relations with the churches of Shoreham and district, and especially with St. Julian's and St Giles' in the parish of Kingston Buci, with whom we form a combined benefice . You can find full details of services at all three churches in the downloadable weekly newsletter |
