150th Anniversary: 26 July 2009Our celebrations of 150 years of service to the community start with a Solemn Mass at 10:30am on Sunday 26 July where the Bishop of Chichester will be principal celebrant. Bishop John’s predecessors consecrated the church and celebrated the 50th and 100th anniversaries, so it’s a great pleasure to welcome the diocesan bishop again for this year’s festivities. Mass is followed by an “1859-style” lunch: if you would like to join us for that, please email us to book a place. |

Finding out about Christ Church
Please look around the website. If you don’t find what you’re after, please contact a church officer or use our new general enquiry email address.
Christ Church merchandise
We’re collecting entries (entrées?) for a Christ Church Cook Book. If you can help, please email publicity@xpeastbourne.org with your recipe. You can now buy reasonably-priced, good-quality sweatshirts, polo shirts, mugs and other items printed with the Christ Church logo. We’ve just added an organic cotton tee-shirt, and a coloured one as well. Keep warm — or cool — and help Christ Church as well! Visit our Store. The store is run by CafePress.com in the United States, so the £–$ exchange rate means things are cheaper now than ever.
Daily Prayer available here
Join the Church in England and around the world by saying Morning or Evening Prayer! The services are quick to download and take about 20 minutes. If you don’t have time for that, why not try the short Night Prayer before going to bed? All the texts, in either Common Worship (modern) or Book of Common Prayer (traditional) language can be reached from our Services page.
