Welcome
We are two Anglican parishes who love God and believe that Jesus is risen from the dead.
St Peter’s Church is at the North end of the village on Market Place and regular services here follow the Book of Common Prayer.
Christ Church can be found at the top of The Green and services here use contemporary language and resources from Common Worship.
Together we seek to serve the Kingdom of God and the people of Mountsorrel.
- Gather with us this Holy Week & Easter
Welcome to our website. We’d like to thank you for popping by and take this opportunity to invite you to join us at one of our public worship services in the coming days. They are open to all and all are welcome.
Sunday worship is a key expression of our love for God and we believe that when we gather together, Jesus is with us. We hope that you too might be able to join us this coming weekend for one of our services.Holy Week
The week before Easter is known as Holy Week and Christians take time to prepare for Easter by remembering the sacrifice of Jesus, when he died on the cross for our sins. This Holy Week, why not join us for any or all of the following services/events:
Maundy Thursday 28th March, St Peter’s Church, 7pm. Holy Communion with (optional) foot washing. Join us at 7pm for this special service during which congregation members will have the opportunity, only if they want to, to have their feet washed in remembrance of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples.
Good Friday 29th March. There will be our usual Friday Coffee Morning at Christ Church beginning at 10am with the added attraction of Hot Cross Buns. Do join us if you can. Also at 10am, there will be a family service at St Peter’s Church when we remember the crucifixion of Jesus and think about its significance for us. At midday, there will be an open-air gathering near the memorial at the top of Castle Hill led by Pastor Anthony from Mountsorrel Baptist Church and open to all. At 2pm, back at St Peter’s Church, there will be a one-hour service of readings, prayer and silence led by Revd Colin.Easter Day
