Diocese Of Chichester

Over on Instagram, we are discussing Children and Family work. Here is Bishop Richards' comment on the issue of declining numbers of young people in our church. #jointhedebate #thejourney

Lovely photos from Henfield’s confirmation service. ’

As England broke weather records with highs of 36.9¬įC, our Church of England churches and cathedrals offered a break from the extreme temperatures, proving that they really are #CoolChurches. Did you open your doors today?

Smile for the camera Archdeacon Fiona! The Iona Pilgrimage continues with lovely weather and talks going well. See Archdeacon Fiona reflecting near a Celtic Cross.

Are you part of a parish or interested in church buildings? If so, follow our dedicated church buildings page Diocese of Chichester, Church Buildings that was set up yesterday! Katherine, our Diocesan fundraising adviser is posting lots of great content about church building projects and FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES! (In the ever so warm office might we add ūü•Ķ!)

Our churches are increasingly exploring new ways of engaging with children, young people, and their families. Just to mention a few: Messy Church, Praise Parties, Sports and Chaplaincy in Schools. Find out how you can build on your children and family work at the forthcoming Diocesan conference, The Journey. Event Information: https://www.chichester.anglican.org/even‚ Ķ/2019/‚Ķ/06/journey/

And they’ve made it! From the weary pilgrims waiting for the Iona ferry to Robin Windsor guarding the nets! A great first day #Iona

Our prayers for Archdeacon Fiona as she starts her pilgrimage to Iona today. (We have been promised photos will be taken and shared with us, while we are in the office!)
