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.
