Planned Events

Coffee Morning with Pop Up Shop - 1st Saturday of the month - 10:00 - 12:00

Starting 2nd February

A chance for a social cup or coffee (or tea).

The Pop Up Shop gives you a chance to sell any items that you want in aid of St Nicholas church (no electrical items please).

Deanery Celebration - 7:30 Wednesday 5th February at St Mary’s, Felpham

A service celebrating the history and Christian faith in our Deanery with Bishop Ruth.

If you are interested in coming, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can let the catering team know.

Songs of Praise.  16th February at 4:00. Let us know your favourite hymn and what it means to you. A chance to sing you favourites. A bit more relaxed than the BBC version.

If you want to choose a hymn, please let me know the following:

• Your hymn choice, your name and whether you would like to tell everyone why you have chosen it.

Please let us know by 9th February so that we can sort out the running order.

Quiz night.  15th March at 6:00.

A chance to pit your wits against the questions set by Fr Trevor. I promise no knowledge of the bible needed.

Chilli and jacket potato (plus alternatives) included.

Tickets are £12 per person.

Please contact Adrienne on 07795 242519 or [email protected] or reply to this email and I will pass it on.

Future Events 

Details to be worked out, but we hope to organise the following:

• A clothes sale at the Saturday Coffee Morning in May (May 4th). Vintage clothing and children’s clothing the main focus.
• Hymns and Pimms on Sunday 13th July. An afternoon tea party with hymns!
• Singalong with The Sound of Music (TBC) August 17th 6:00
• Quiz night on October 11th at 6:30. Same format as the March Quiz Night with more questions from Fr Trevor.

Help Needed

I’m sure that the refreshments team would appreciate any offers of help for any of the social events in 2025. Please let Adrienne, Heather or Avril know if you are able to help (or drop me an email and I will pass it on)

We would also appreciate people to volunteer to read the lessons on Sundays and to lead the intercessions. There is a list in church, but if you email me, I will add you name to the rota.

We hope to restart the churchyard working parties on the first Saturday of the month. Probably starting in March, but details will be posted with exact dates and times.

The PCC was presented was a strategy for increasing engagement with Children and Young People in Middleton and Elmer. If you would like to support this strategy, please come along to a meeting in church on Thursday 6th February at 4:00 where we can look at how we can use the resources available to us to increase engagement.

We are also looking for a PCC Secretary. The main purpose of the role is to take minutes at PCC meetings and to organise the APCM. If you are interested in learning more, please have a chat with Fr Trevor.
