Valentine's Meal

The event was billed as a Valentine’s Meal, but for the more than forty people people attending, it was probably unlike any Valentine’s dinner they had previously attended! Guests sat with friends around tables that had been beautifully decorated to reflect the Valentine theme. They were greeted on arrival by Deacon Sarah, who was maitre d’ for the evening, and then served a three- course meal, with a choice of starter, main course and dessert.
Behind the scenes (and there was a certain amount of chaos in the Wesley Hall kitchen), Chef and her assistants worked hard to keep the timing on track. Hopefully everyone had the food they were expecting!
Everyone agreed that the evening was most enjoyable, and even better raised a large sum for Cornerstone Mission. Many requests were made for this to be a regular event…but I think Chef might appreciate a bit of a break first!

Nativity Festival

The London Road Chapel opened its doors over the weekend of 14th-15th December 2024 for its first Nativity Festival.
On display around the Church were over 40 nativity scenes, each one different and special. From the very smallest, presented in a matchbox, to the largest, a French scene set in a Provencal village which included a whole cast of villagers, the variety was astonishing.
Groups hiring our premises had been invited to take part and grasped the opportunity to demonstrate their own special talents and publicise their activities; the Wesley Parent and Toddler group had got creative with cottonwool and colouring, the Community Fridge demonstrated a unique way with vegetables, the Embroiderers showed off their skills with threads and fabrics and the Crafternoon group, with all manner of bits and pieces, had fashioned a beautiful stable complete with star and figures. Please look at the photographs and be amazed at the talents on display!
Festive refreshments, including mince pies and hot chocolate, were laid on to encourage folk to linger in the warmth and on the Sunday afternoon, tables were set out for a very special Afternoon Tea.

Planning your Visit

A warm welcome

We are one Church in three locations and we will be pleased to welcome you. Although we are

different on the outside, inside you will find communities of believers gathering to praise and

worship God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and trying to live out our faith by serving others as best we can.

How to find us

Choose the chapel which is convenient for you, a map can be found on each chapel’s homepage.

For those arriving by car, there is a small car park at the London Road chapel, and nearby parking on the road and in public car parks. At St Andrew’s and Partridge Green there is parking in the roads nearby. If coming by train, St Andrew’s chapel is a 15 minute walk from Littlehaven station and London Road chapel about ten minutes from Horsham station.

Planning your visit

For your first visit, we suggest arriving about 10-15 minutes early. You will be greeted by a Welcome Steward who will be able to answer any questions you may have. All our chapels are wheelchair-accessible and have accessible toilets. There is a hearing loop for those who need it at the London road chapel. At all chapels hymn words are displayed on a screen, but hymn books are available if you prefer.

Our Services

The Sunday services in all our chapels is at 10.30am. For more information see our Sunday Services page (link). The service lasts for 60-75 minutes, and includes hymns and songs, prayer, Bible readings and a talk, usually based around the readings. The service is led by one of own ministers or by a lay person who has been trained in leading worship. Once a month in each chapel we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion, to which all are welcome. Gluten-free bread and alcohol-free wine are used at this service. At the end of the service, tea, coffee and biscuits are served and there is the opportunity to chat informally. Please do introduce yourself, we will be pleased to get to know you.

Midweek worship

We realise that Sunday worship is not convenient for everyone. At our London Road chapel we have a monthly service on a Thursday, which is held in the afternoon at 2.30pm. Please see our calendar for the dates. This is a shorter, more informal act of worship, accompanied by tea/coffee and cake, and held in the ‘Meeting Place’, a new space at the front of the chapel.

Can I bring my children?

Messy Church, which is especially for parents, carers and children, takes place at St Andrews on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 3 to 5pm and at Partridge Green during the school holidays (see our calendars for dates and to book for MC at St Andrews).
