A message from Father Richard
Hello and a warm welcome to Wulfran’s Church, an ancient and beautiful place of worship and prayer with deep spiritual roots and a joyful growing congregation. St Wulfran’s is a peaceful sanctuary, surrounded by a beautiful churchyard, the South Downs and is close to the sea and the city of Brighton & Hove. We want people to find a home at St Wulfran’s, to find a place of belonging and spiritual pathway to belief. In being an inclusive church we believe God delights in diversity and we seek to make sure everyone feels equally loved and valued. We look forward to meeting you.

Next Generation
Next Generation is about deciding together as a parish how we might further invest in St Wulfran’s so that it continues to be a thriving parish for this and future generations.
Throughout last autumn, we sought views from within the St Wulfran’s community on potential projects. We are hugely grateful for the projects you have suggested, most of which are eminently do-able.
We are now obtaining professional advice and consulting with the Diocesan Advisory Committee
Next Generation Projects:
1. Improving access to the Lychgate by reducing the steepness and unevenness of the path.
2. Opening up the relationship between the Chancel and Nave, and installing a performance space between Chancel and Nave
3. Creating a ‘Tea-point in a cupboard’ at the Tower end of the church, including integrated washing up facilities
4. Establishing projection, enhanced lighting and sound arrangements in the church.
5. Introducing solar panels for heating and lighting the church, and possibly also in the Church Room where the Nursery School and Sunday School meet.
6. Installing WiFi for improved Zoom broadcasting of services 7. Acquiring new, thicker and more comfortable seating cushions for all pews in church.
