News from St Peter’s Church

St. Peter’s Church wish you all a Happy Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. The greatest present we could wish for, our Lord and Saviour, not coming as a King, but born in a lowly stable and living among the people, to show us how to share the love of God in our communities.

Our celebrations start with The Christmas Tree Festival on the 10th and 11th of December. 10.30am-5.30pm. Entrance £2.50, children under 16 free. Come and see our magical trees and enjoy some festive refreshments. Christmas concert a light-hearted and fun evening of music. Saturday 10th December 7pm. Tickets £9 including finger buffet and a glass of wine, available from the addresses below.

Sunday 11th December 10.00am Our morning service will be Carols for All. Do come along and enjoy singing some Christmas Carols, you can even choose your favourite carol when you come.

Do come dressed as an angel, shepherd, king or sheep, or we can dress you when you come. 11.30pm Midnight Mass Lead by The Revd. Amanda Ferris Christmas Day 10.00am All Age Christmas Service.

As it gets colder for some this may mean turning off their heating. St. Peter’s plan to run the heating in church, it won’t be tropical, but with under floor heating feet can be warm. So if you want to come to a “Warm Hub” for a while, the church is open from 9am -5pm everyday. There are books to read in the “Book Nook” , or you can add some pieces to a jigsaw in the North Aisle, or you can sit and be quiet or chat to anyone else who may pop in.

Services continue at the times below and we welcome visiting clergy to help during the vacancy. Everyone is welcome.
