SUNDAY SERVICES
Parish Eucharist & Sunday School at 11.15am
This the main Sunday service. The children start off in church for the opening hymn and prayer, and are then led to the next-door vicarage for their activity, returning at the communion to receive a blessing.
The Eucharist is sung congregationally, with a Psalm, four hymns and a sermon, led by the choir. The preaching is relevant and seeks both to challenge and encourage.
There is always coffee, tea and biscuits after the service, and periodically there are buffet–style Parish Lunches as well. The service is approximately 60 minutes long.
PrayerSpace
From 12th September at St Peter's we are suspending the previous Sunday Evening Services, and simply opening the church in order to provide space to sit, walk around, listen to music, read and inform yourself, pray in your own way, or simply absorb the atmosphere of our fine building.
We’re calling it PrayerSpace. It will be available from 6pm to 7pm.
More formal liturgies such as Laying on of Hands and Anointing with Oils for Healing, or Confession, will still be available on request in the side chapel, without affecting the freedom to explore PrayerSpace in the main Church building. Come, Taste, and See...
