Ash Wednesday is on 6 March  and we shall be celebrating the Eucharist on that day at 10.45am and 7.30pm. At both services there will be an opportunity to receive the imposition of ashes as a sign of our penitence

Our other Lenten activities include the Lent Course “Daring to see God Now” which will comprise five small group discussion sessions running throughout Lent. We also  have two prayer, work and fellowship sessions.

On 31^st October, St Peter’s hosted its second LIGHT PARTY. It was a fun, bright and sparkly event. The church was lit with four enormous UV lights, making white or neon colours glow like beacons. Sparkly fairy lights and neon bunting all helped to make the church look beautiful. The North Porch was lit with illuminated balloons and pumpkins, carved with smiley faces and words such as ‘joy’ and ‘love’. Our welcomer at the door had many a chat to passers-by, telling them about the party and inviting them in.

There was lots on offer for children and grown-ups alike. We made candles, paper lanterns, doves and crowns. There was neon face paint, the doughnut-on-a-string game and a prayer candle. There was delicious party food, tea and cake. We danced and boogied to disco music, had a limbo competition (which the three-year olds won) and played musical statues and musical bumps.

This was a wide-reaching community event which needed input from a variety of different people. So thank you if you loaned your fairly lights, baked cakes, helped put on the craft, threaded doughnuts onto string, decorated the church etc. All these jobs really helped it all come together.

A special thank you to Nick Ellis from Holy Angels Lilliput who donated lights, extension leads and carried out the necessary electric tests.

The Centenary St.Peter’s Summer Fayre – 9 June 2018. Great weather, great entertainment and  a great day for the whole community

100 cakes for 100 years. Thanks to Jo Scroggie, they were great!

Tea and entertainment too. Time for  a bop in the tea tent!

Thanks to our Mayor and Town Crier for opening the Fayre for us

See you next year – 8 June 2019

Mothers’ Union hosted a successful new event at St Peter’s centre on Thursday 12^th April.

 We thought that families might like something fun to do, especially if the holidays hadn’t been sunny (we predicted that one correctly) so we hosted an arty ‘sea adventure’. All ages came together to create; we made all sorts of sea creatures, seaweed, anemones, crustaceans, pebbles and boats and we put everything together onto a big blue sheet for all to see.

 It was a great atmosphere. There were delicious home-made cakes, tea and squash to keep us refreshed. And lots of chit-chat as we drew, cut and stuck. Many thanks to all those involved.

 A number of people asked us when this is happening again. We would really like to have a re-run but we can’t do it without help! So if you are you a baker, you enjoy arts and crafts, or you are just able to buy some materials (no cost to yourselves) please let Janet Everett know (01202 083245). We look forward to hearing from you!
