The United Benefice of Mountsorrel Christ Church & Mountsorrel St Peter
Monday evening came around and a crowd gathered at Christ Church for a very special ‘Linda’ Quiz. This is not your average quiz, this is a Linda Quiz. Knoweldge and wisdom is an optional extra and the scoring system is a mystery beyond understanding. Nevertheless, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves – even if the vicar’s team did win again. A huge thank you to everyone who came and took part and especially Linda who must have spent hours in preparation to produce such a fun evening.
We’d only just finished clearing up from Messy Play when it was time to welcome our next group of visitors to Primary Sports with Ben from MegaStrikers. There were some great activities for everyone to join in with including golf, darts, nerf, dodgeball and relay races. Ben was great and everyone left having had a good time. Here’s some pictures of what went on:
Monday morning rolled around and we opened the doors of Christ Church to the youngest members of our community with our special Under Fives Outer Space Messy Play. It was a great chance for youngsters to come in and have fun without worrying about the mess – in fact the messier the better as proved by these pictures:
St Peter’s Church opened its doors wide to welcome visitors during this year’s annual Mountsorrel Revival festival. Visitors were able to come in and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet in the Church and garden. There was a demonstration of bell ringing with the opportunity for our guests to ‘have-a-go’. Many took the opportunity to try their hand. We also had garden games, free refreshments (including some lovely cakes baked by our vicar), hand made cards for sale and a book/dvd sale.
Church members also joined the parade as part of the Churches Together in Mountsorrel.
We were busy all day and it was such a joy to see so many people come and visit us – including some for whom this was their first time at St Peter’s.
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 in the coming days. They are open to all and all are 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 (10th August) Mountsorrel will be hosting its annual REVIVAL event with lots of things to see and do for all the family. We will begin the day by gathering at St Peter’s Church for a service of Holy Communion before joining in with everything else taking place. The service begins at 9.30am. If you’ve not been to St Peter’s before, then just turn up a few minutes before the start of the service and one of our welcome team will ensure that you have everything you need.
St Peter’s Church will remain open throughout the day offering the opportunity for a quiet place to pray. We will also be hosting a second-hand bookstall, garden games and refreshments.
