We are currently in a period of prayer. Thursday 18 May was Ascension Day and it marked the beginning of Thy Kingdom Come – a time when the Church prays for the growing of God’s Kingdom. Our Churches are open during the day for quiet prayer and contemplation . Each evening until the eve of Pentecost (27 May), there will be a short service of Compline (night prayer) beginning at 8.30pm in St Peter’s Church.

This culminates with Pentecost Sunday when the Church remembers the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the early believers in Jerusalem. We will mark this with services of Holy Communion in both of our Churches:
At St Peter’s Church we begin at 9.30am. I will be leading the service together with Alison White, one of our children and family workers.
At Christ Church we begin at 11am. Our service here will be led by Steve Delaforce.

I do hope you will be able to join us for worship and celebration this weekend. With every blessing, Colin Resch.

Thursday 18th May is Ascension Day, when we remember the returning to heaven of our risen Lord Jesus. We will mark this at St Peter’s Church with a service of Holy Communion at 7pm. You are most welcome to join us for this service. If you are not sure, you are also welcome to come along and sit and watch with no obligation to join in. After the service, there will be refreshments served in the vestry.

Ascension Day also marks the beginning of Thy Kingdom Come when we give extra time in prayer – particularly praying for those we know who do not yet know Jesus. Our Churches will be open during the day and each evening, from Ascension Day (18 May) to the eve of Pentecost (27 May), there will be a short service of Compline (night prayer) beginning at 8.30pm in St Peter’s Church.

You can join us for Sunday worship on 21st May in Christ Church for a service of Sunday worship with communion at 11am. During this service, we will also give the opportunity for prayers for healing – either for yourself or someone else. Later, at 6pm, we will gather in St Peter’s Church for a service of Evening Prayer beginning at 6pm.

I hope you can join us. Love and blessings, Colin Resch.

Following on from a very busy coronation weekend, there’s a lot going on in our Churches this coming weekend too. I hope you will be able to join us for one or more of these Sundy services.

At Christ Church there will be a service of Sunday Worship at 11am. This service will be led by members of our Children and Families team and accessible to those of any age.

At St Peter’s Church there will be a service of Holy Communion at 9.30am. We will use the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer accompannied by the singing of hymns. Later, at 4pm, there will be a Senior Sunday service which is open to anyone who is over sixty and living on their own. A short twenty minute service will be followed by a sandwich tea and cakes in the vestry.

I do hope you might be able to join us for worship this weekend. With love and blessings, Colin Resch.

Hello and welcome to our website – the place to find all the information you need about both Christ Church and St Peter’s Church Mountsorrel. Enjoy browsing our site and do let us know if there’s something you want to know but couldn’t find.

Also, why not join with us in worship this coming weekend. Things are slightly different this weekend because there are no morning services in either of our Church buildings. Instead, we join together with the other Churches in Mountsorrel for a special ‘Churches Together’ service which will take place at 10.30am in Mountsorrel Baptist Church at the bottom of The Green. We’d love to see you there if you can make it.

On the evening of Sunday 30 April, we will gather for a service of Evening Prayer, also known as Evensong, at St Peter’s Church from 6pm. This is a traditional service using words from the Book of Common Prayer. If you’ve never been to this service before, you would be especially welcome to join us and discover the delights of Evensong. Do introduce yourself to one of our welcome team when you arrive and they will make sure that you have everything you need to get the most out of your time with us.

The service at Christ Church will be followed by our Annual Meeting, but please don’t let that put you off, you can always slip away quietly after coffee before the meeting begins.

On Saturday 15th April, we’ve got our Muddy Church in the Orchard behind Christ Church. This begins at 4pm and takes place outdoors around a fire. There’s activities for youngsters and the chance to sit and enjoy the fire whilst toasting marshmallows. It’s Church, but not as you know it.

On Sunday 16th April, we’ve got a service of Holy Communion with prayers for healing at Christ Church from 11am. On Sunday evening, beginning at 6pm, you are invited to St Peter’s for a traditional service of Evening Prayer (also known as Evensong) led by Revd Colin Resch. The evening service at St Peter’s will be followed by the Church’s Annual Meeting – but don’t let that put you off, you can always slip away after coffee before the meeting begins.

Hi and welcome to our website. Here you can find all the information you need about our Church community here in Mountsorrel. We’d love to invite you to be a part of our Church family.

It is Easter Day this Sunday and we will be marking this in both of our Churches with services to which you and your friends and family are invited. At 9.30am, Revd Eric Whitley will be at St Peter’s Church to lead the service there. The words for the service will be taken from the Book of Common Prayer. Then, at 11am we welcome Bishop Saju, Bishop of Loughborough to lead us in our Easter Morning service at Christ Church that will include baptisms (some by full-immersion) and confirmations. This will be a joyous occasion and we would like to extend an invitation to you.

Please do join us if you can. May you know God’s blessing upon you this Easter.

We have many services, events and activities going on this week as we journey through Holy Week and on towards our Easter celebrations. Please do take a look at our calendar to see all that we have planned.

I would particularly like to draw your attention to our Good Friday events with a service for all the family at 10am and a more contemplative service of prayers, readings and silence at 2pm. Both of these taking place at St Peter’s Church. I would encourage you to come along to either or both of these services.

I would also like to draw your attention to a very special Easter Celebration taking place at Christ Church on Easter Sunday when we welcome Bishop Saju, bishop of Loughborough to lead us in our Easter Morning service that will include baptisms (some by full-immersion) and confirmations. This will be a joyous occasion and we would like to extend our invitation to you. Please do join us if you can.

We are now in a period that the Church refers to as Passiontide. Easter is drawing near and we begin to focus on the journey that Jesus took towards the Cross. This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday and on this day we think about the journey that Jesus made into Jerusalem – not like some great king or conquering emperor coming on a state visit – more subdued, humble, lowly, riding on a donkey. Still his disciples and the crowd rallied around him welcoming him by waving palm branches and shouting, ‘Hosanna!’

Join us for our services this Palm Sunday to journey back in time and travel, with Jesus, the road to Jerusalem. There will be services of Holy Communion in both of our Churches on Sunday 2nd April: 9.30am at St Peter’s Church, and 11am at Christ Church.

At 4pm, we will have our regular ‘Fun@4’ at Christ Church with activities for all the family and a separate stream for youth.

We’d love to see you at any or all of these services as we journey with Jesus towards our Easter celebrations. God bless.
