Churches Together

Welcome to our website. We’d like to thank you for popping by and take this opportunity to invite you to join us for our public worship services. They are open to all and everyone is welcome.
Our gathered worship is a key expression of our love for God and we believe that when we gather together, Jesus is with us and among us. However, this coming Sunday morning (13 September) we will not be meeting in either Christ Church or St Peter’s Church. Instead, this week, as a sign of unity, we will be gathering together at Mountsorrel Methodist Church (Church Hill Road) for a united service for all the Churches in Mountsorrel. We would love to extend a welcome to you even if you have never been to Church before or if it has been a while since you have been with us. After the service, tea and coffee will be available and there will be the opportunity to chat with the members of the other churches.

Later in the day, at 4pm, we will meet at St Peter’s Church for our Senior Sunday service – a short time of worship followed by sandwich tea.

An invitation for you…

Welcome to our website. We’d like to thank you for popping by and take this opportunity to invite you to join us for our public worship services. They are open to all and everyone is welcome.
Our gathered worship is a key expression of our love for God and we believe that when we gather together, Jesus is with us and among us. This coming Sunday (6 September) there are services in both of our Churches celebrating the festival of Christ in Creation. We would love to extend a welcome to you even if you have never been to Church before or if it has been a while since you have been with us.
This Sunday is also the last time that our Youth Worker Kat will be with us before moving on to theological college. At the end of our service at Christ Church, we will celebrate all that she has done over the last four years and pray for her as she follows God’s call on her life.

Christ Church
Our Sunday Worship at Christ Church begins at 11am. Our services are suitable for people of all ages and you can be assured of a warm welcome whether you are new to our Church or if you’ve been coming along since… well, for ever. We offer a blend of modern worship that we think you will enjoy. Come on your own, with a friend or with your family. Parents, bring your children; children, bring your grown-ups.

In our service today, we share in Holy Communion (bread and wine) remembering the Last Supper when Jesus took bread and wine and shared them with his disciples asking that they continue to do this in remembrance of him. Our Bible reading will be from Colossians 1.15-20.

If you’re new to Church, just let someone know when you arrive and we will guide you through the service and answer any questions you might have. There’s always good coffee on hand (other drinks are available) and a biscuit or two. So do come and join us.

St Peter’s Church
Join us at St Peter’s for a service of Morning Prayer (Matins) using liturgy from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. This traditional service includes hymns that are often led by a small choir. Whether you are new to Church or have been attending for many years, you will find that the words and music draw you close to the living God in worship and adoration.

Our Bible readings this week will be Psalm 96, Isaiah 55.12-13 and Colossians 1.15-20.

After the conclusion of our service, do stay to join us for tea and coffee served in the Antill Vestry at the back of Church when you will have the opportunity to chat to other members of the congregation and make new friends.

There’s also a goodbye message from our Youth Worker – Kat – who is following God’s call to theological college; along with a welcome message from our new Youth & Schools’ Worker – Mary – who has followed God’s call to work with us here in Mountsorrel. I do hope you enjoy reading it.

We would love to extend a welcome to you even if you have never been to Church before or if it has been a while since you have been with us.

St Peter’s Church
We invite you to join us with your pets for a very special Pet Service beginning at 4pm. This will be our second pet service and we welcome you to bring a pet or come by yourself. We would ask that all dogs are kept on the lead and under control. The service will give the opportunity to thank God for the joy and companionship that pets can bring. We will also remember those pets we have loved and lost. Our Bible readings will be Matthew 6.25-34.

After the conclusion of our service, do stay to join us for tea and coffee served from the Antill Vestry with access to the Churchyard. This will give you the opportunity to chat to other members of the congregation and make new friends.

Evensong & Curry Night

We finished our week of Summer Activities with a traditional service of Evensong led by our Vicar Colin. Like the morning, we picked up on the theme of Joseph, and thought about how sometimes we make mistakes, but God can turn our mistakes into something good. We reflected on how relationships that have broken down can be healed by God and we can be reconciled with those we have become estranged from. We recognise that through God’s mercy, we can have hope for the future – even when the present is not looking so good.

We followed this service with a Curry night. Our thanks to our friends at Gurkha New Delhi for doing the cooking for us.

All Age Worship & Barbecue

Our final day of Summer 26 began with All Age Worship at Christ Church. During our worship we thought about the life of Joseph. Although his life had many ups and downs – moments of joy and moments of deep pain, God was with him through it all. Sometimes, it is only when we look back at life, that we can see God’s hand upon us in all that we do.

After the service, Church and community came together for a barbecue. Burgers and Sausages were enjoyed whilst games were played and conversations took place.

Summer Concert

On Saturday evening we gathered in the beauty of St Peter’s Church for our concert of Music for a Summer’s Evening. The programme which was put together by our very own Mr John Strange included, amongst other contributions, some music from Rogers and Hammerstein. Interval refreshments included cheese and wine (soft drinks were available). Donations were received for the work of Mesothelioma UK.

Castle Hill War Memorial Centenary Commemoration

On Saturday morning, 15 August 2026, a service took place on Castle Hill in Mountsorrel to celebrate and commemorate the centenary anniversary of the unveiling of the Castle Hill War Memorial.

The original unveling took place on 15 August 1926 with a service led by the Archdeacon of Loughborough, The Venerable, W.P. Hurrell. On this occasion it seemed appropriate to ask the current Archdeacon of Loughborough, The Venerable, Claire Wood to lead the service. She was accompanied and assisted by our Vicar, Revd Colin Resch who is also padre to the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

The order of service was based on the original service used one hundred years ago with very few changes made. The service was introduced by Deputy Lieutenant Col. Robert Martin OBE DL, who also holds the role of County President of the Royal British Legion as well as President of the Mountsorrel Branch.

The service was attended by 130 people on Castle Hill and livestreamed to the Mountsorrel Memorial Centre so that those who were unable to make the journey to the top of the hill could also join in. The service can be viewed on youtube.

Children’s Cinema

Saturday morning and the Church filled with families ready for our Cinema feature film: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Like any cinema experience, there was plenty of popcorn, sweets and drinks. A great film and a great atmosphere.

Quiz Night

We had a great turn out for our Quiz Night. This is not a typical test of general knowledge, but more of a brain-teaser quiz. It involved questions and answers, but also singing, guessing, not dancing (points were deducted for dancing), dexterity (tying a bow with just one hand), eating of snacks, laughter and a great lot of fun all round. Thanks Linda for sorting us out and thanks Kat for keeping the scores. We had so much fun we forgot to take any photos.
