A warm welcome awaits

Welcome to our Church website. We hope it gives you a flavour of what our Church is like. But we’d love to welcome you in person to our Sunday Worship and we’ve got some great services planed for Sunday 9 July.

Our Sunday Worship on begins with a service of Holy Communion at St Peter’s Church starting at 9.30am. The service will use words from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. After the service there will be refreshments served with opportunity for getting to know one another.

Then, at 11am, there will be All Age Worship at Christ Church which will include the baptism of Logan. Come and share with him in this important moment as he commits himself to following Jesus. Refreshments are available throughout the service and the atmosphere will be relaxed.

Later in the afternoon, we have something special for those of more senior years when we open the doors of St Peter’s Church once more for our Senior Sunday service and tea. A short service of worship beginning at 4pm will be followed by afternoon tea served in the Vestry.

This coming Sunday is Father’s Day and we will be marking this with a special Cafe Church service at Christ Church, 11am. Bacon rolls will be served to all and tea/coffee will be available throughout the service. Come and join us for this relaxed act of worship during which we will thank God, our heavenly Father, for the example of fatherhood he gives to us. We will thank him for the love our own fathers have shown to us; we will remember our own fathers who are no longer with us; we will pray for all those whose relationships with their own fathers was far from perfect and for whom this day is difficult.

On Sunday evening, we gather at St Peter’s Church, 6pm for a service of Evening Prayer (Evensong) using the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer.

I do hope you will be able to come along to either of these services and I look forward to seeing you there.
With every blessing, Colin Resch.

Would you like to come too?

At the heart of all we do, is our worship of the risen Lord Jesus. You can join in with us at any of our events and services, but especially on Sundays.

An invitation to our Pentecost worship

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.

An invitation to worship with us

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.
