Prayers for Healing is held on the first and third Mondays of the month at 9.00am unless it is a Bank Holiday.
The church is served by a sacristan, with assistants to help out as necessary; one verger, a team of sidesmen and two intercessors who lead the prayers at the 10.00 service. Old and New Testament readings at these services are read by members of the congregation. There are strongly committed teams of flower arrangers and cleaners who keep the church looking attractive at all times.

St. Nicolas’ enjoys good relations with the churches of Shoreham and district, and especially with St. Julian's and St Giles' in the parish of Kingston Buci, with whom we form a united benefice. You can find full details of services at all three churches in the downloadable weekly newsletter
