Marking 80 years since D-Day

Leave a comment

This week our priest in charge was honoured to be involved in the village commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings. As padre to the Mountsorrel branch of the Royal British Legion, Revd Colin Resch led prayers at the wreath laying ceremony in the Mountsorrel Memorial Centre attended by the Mayor of Charnwood Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE. Borough & Parish Councillors, invited guests and a delgation from our twinned village of Montsorreau in France were also present for the ceremony. It was a truly memorable occasion and a fitting tribute to the memory of the men and women who gave so much on that day to protect the freedom of our society.

Bugs and Hedgehogs find a home

Leave a comment

It was a great afternoon at Muddy Church on Saturday 14 October. We read from scripture that God entrusted us with care of the environment so, as well as joining in with all of the usual Muddy Church experiences such as singing a song, exploring nature and toasting marshmallows over the fire, we made a hedgehog house to leave in the orchard. We also made some fantastic bug hotels and ladybird palaces – some to leave in the orchard, some to take home. Hopefully we’ve done just a little bit to encourage some wildlife to thrive.

Congratulations Kieran & Emily

It was a delight to welcome Kieran and Emily to St Peter’s Church on Saturday 23 September along with their family and friends. The wedding was a beautifully relaxed occasion with bride and groom surrounded by family and friends as they made their marriage vows to each other. The service was led by Revd Colin Resch, the organist was Mr John Strange. As the wedding march played at the end of the service, a band of eight bell ringers rang out the good news in celebration.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Newbold.

Curry Night Finale

Leave a comment

The final event of our Summer 23 Activity Week was a curry night in the gardens at St Peter’s. Two starters and three choices of curry were provided by Gurkha New Delhi for our Curry Buffet along with Pilau Rice and Naan Bread. A real treat for all of us to enjoy. The atmosphere was relaxed and convivial. New friendships were formed and old ones revisited. A very fitting end to a busy and enjoyable week.

Evensong

Leave a comment

Sunday evening saw us gather at St Peter’s Church for our service of Evening Prayer, usually known as Evensong. The service was led by Revd Colin and the preacher was our Associate Minister, Mel Rowley who spoke on the first Bible reading which was from Ruth, chapter one.

Community Barbecue

Leave a comment

After our service of Sunday Morning Worship, we watched the end of the World Cup final – disappointed that the Lionesses were not able to overcome the superb playing of the Spanish side. Then we joined together for a community barbecue, playing some outdoor games as we enjoyed the Summer Sunshine and some beautifully cooked burgers and sausages.
