Hurstpierpoint's Christmas services

Wishing you a blessed, peaceful and hope-filled Christmas from the churches of Hurstpierpoint

This had been a hard year, to say the least – but the great news for us all is that Christmas is not cancelled! Though how we will celebrate this year is rather less certain... We are praying for our community in these challenging times, and between us we will be offering a variety of Christmas services – online, and hopefully in person. We’re sorry we can’t give you definite details of our services right now – but please do visit our websites or contact us for the latest information:
