HARTING CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Nestled at the foot of the South Downs in West Sussex
MORE ABOUT US
Prayer
The Church is always open for quiet reflection
and private prayer.
There is a book at the back of the Church
for your prayer requests, or contact Linda.
Praying is the most important way for us to keep in contact with our Lord.
So whether we pray in the conventional way or just sit silently all our prayers are important.
At every service we offer prayers for those of our Church Family and those in the wider community who are unwell or are in need of comfort.
Young People
Our Sunday morning services incorporate our young people's and children's worship.
They join us for the first hymn and prayers, after which they go through to the hall to have their own time which we call Kidz Club
We have a dedicated team of helpers who give the children so much fun and entertainment whilst bringing them to believe in our Lord.
Most of them are upset when they cannot attend.
At the end of our service they return to us to show their achievements.
The first Sunday of the month is our Family Service when the children stay for the whole service.
During the Christmas services and at other times they play a huge part in worship with performances based on Bible stories, but with their own delightful interpretation.
Music
Here at Harting we have a very strong and rich musical ethos.
At Sunday morning services we have a music group, which is joined occasionally with some of our young people.
The Singing Group lead at special services and take part regularly in evening worship.
New members are always very welcome and they meet for practice on Wednesday evenings.
The Star of Hope was hung in the Church porch in December 2020, during Covid when services could not be held in churches.
Our late Minister, Ken Jacques, asked for it to remain in the porch always as a sign of Hope to all who pass by and see it shining out into the darkness.
Star of Hope
We have a close partnership with the Harting School and welcome the children to have their own service in the church once a term.
We share the Parish Magazine with our friends from the Parish Church with whom we work together as often as we can.
We are a FOOD BANK collection point for the Petersfield Food Bank - Collection boxes at back of Church
