Appointment of Interim Vicar confirmed

We are delighted to announce that the appointment of Father Tony Windross has now been confirmed. Father Tony took up his ministry to our parish on Tuesday March 13^th 2018, when he was licenced to the parish by our diocesan Bishop, Martin.

Father Tony will be a part-time vicar of Pevensey, and hopes that our wonderful team of retired clergy will continue to be involved in the parish ministry. Below is Father Tony’s letter of introduction to his future parishioners in Pevensey…….please read on….

“I was born in Margate, but grew up in Eastbourne. After leaving school I read economics and geography at Cambridge – and whilst there met and married Pat.

We moved to Birmingham to study the post-graduate certificate of education – and I then taught in Eastbourne for 24 years, during which time our family steadily grew, with the arrival of four sons: Peter, David, Andrew and Paul.

I was fortunate to have Nicholas Reade as my ordination training incumbent, and Tony Christian as my local tutor. I was ordained in 1993, and was based at St Mary’s Eastbourne as a non-stipendiary minister, before moving in 1997 to East Grinstead as a full-time curate. After two years, we moved to Sheringham in North Norfolk, where I was the vicar for nine years, before going in 2008 to Hythe in Kent, where I was vicar for six years. Wanting a fresh challenge, we then experienced rural ministry in Cornwall, where I’ve had responsibility for 8 churches over the last three years, combining this with being rural dean.

Pat and I are very excited about this new adventure. We love the area, and look forward to getting to know the parish and people of Pevensey.”

St Nicolas Church Pevensey – Annual Summer Flower Festival

Following on from last year’s brilliant interpretation of Childrens’ stories, this year we showcase the theme of ” Memories” in our annual Flower Festival. The floral displays and inventive installations will fill the beautiful space of St Nicolas church, and we are privileged this year to have live music from instrumentalists who will re-create some sounds which will hopefully stir happy memories of yester-year. Entry is free, (although donations welcome of course) and refreshments will be available throughout. Times of opening are 10-5pm on August Bank Holiday Saturday and Monday and 11 – 5pm on Sunday.

We are open and welcoming to all, as you’ll find out if you join us after a service for some tea, coffee and biscuits. Our facilities include wheelchair access.

If you’re in the area and want to join in, our main service is on Sundays. Feel free to take part as much or as little as you want. We have many visitors from other churches and some that have never set foot inside a church before. You are welcome to just come to have a look.
If you are planning a wedding, christening or funeral, the churchwardens can help you. Please contact us for further information and advice.
