Your invitation to join us…

Welcome to our website. We’d love to welcome you to our Church too.

This coming weekend, you can join us for Muddy Church in the orchard at the back of Christ Church. This special outdoor experience is all about meeting God in nature. We will sing, cook food on the fire, explore a Bible theme together and discover more about ourselves and God. We meet at 4pm on Saturday 16 September.
On Sunday we will meet at Christ Church at 11am for our service of Sunday Worship. Even if you are not a regular church goer, you will be assured of a warm welcome. Just turn up a few minutes before 11am and find a seat. If you have any questions, speak to a member of our welcome team who will be able to help.
On Sunday evening at 6pm, we begin our Harvest Festival season with a special service of Evening Prayer (Evensong) at St Peter’s Church. Come and join us as we sing our familiar harvest hymns and thank God for the provision of our harvest.

Welcome

I’m so glad you found our website. I hope you find all the information you want to about the life of our Church here in Mountsorrel.
But don’t just stop with the website, please join us in person at one of our Sunday worship services. This coming Sunday we begin at 9.30am with a service of Holy Communion at St Peter’s Church followed by tea and coffee.
Then at 11am we meet at Christ Church (top of the Green) for a service of All Age Worship led by our children and families team.
Later, back at St Peter’s Church, at 4pm, there is a special service and afternoon tea for our seniors.

An invitation for you…

I am pleased that you found our website and I hope you are able to find out all that you need to know about events and services taking place in our churches. This week, we return to our regular pattern of Morning Prayer and weekly activities. This includes a book club on Wednesday at St Peter’s Church beginning at 2pm. You would be most welcome to pop along and join the fun. The book we will be looking at is The Villa in Italy by Elizabeth Edmonson. Our relaxed weekly drop-in Coffee Morning continues on Friday at 10am in Christ Church.
This Sunday, there is no morning worship service in either of our churches as we gather together with the Churches Together in Mountsorrel at Mountsorrel Methodist Church at 10.30am. We’d love to see you there if you can make it.
At 4pm, our regular Fun@4 and Youth@4 sessions take place in Christ Church. Everyone is welcome to come along to join in the fun with a barbecue to get the new term started.

This is your invitation to join us

I would love to extend an invitation to you to join us in one or both of our Churches this coming Sunday 27th August for our Sunday Worship.

At St Peter’s Church, 9.30am, there will be a service of Holy Communion particularly aimed at the whole family.

At Christ Church, 11am, there will be a service of Morning Prayer with baptisms and we look forward to welcoming Xavier, Ceddie and Maeve along with their families and friends as we celebrate and worship God together.

Both services will be followed by free refreshments, so do stay for a chat afterwards if you’re not rushing off elsewhere.

I hope to see you there. Every blessing, Colin Resch.

Evensong

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.

Sunday Morning Worship

The final day of our Summer 23 Activity Week got off to a great start with our service of All Age Sunday Worship. The service included contributions from across the staff team and celebrated all that had been good about the week of activities. The message reflected on the purpose of Church and how we share together all that we have to build each other up.

Summer 23 has finally arrived

Yes, our fabulous week of activities has finally arrived. We’ve been planning, plotting and scheming for months and now, all our hard work is done and the fun can begin.

Check out our Summer 23 webpage for all the details of our free activities.

There are over 2000 free tickets available across eighteen different events during the week. Many are suitable for children, some are designed specifically for youth and there are a couple aimed at adults only. Whatever you like to do, we think there is something for you. So take a look and grab a free ticket before they all go.

Greetings from Mbape

One of our Churchwardens, David, and his wife Karen recently visited the Church of St Michael’s and All Angels in Mbape – just on the outskirts of Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. The service included some English included especially for their benefit. Musical accompaniement was by drum and maracas. Julius is the Rector and the service was taken by Rev Nyano the assistant priest. Attached to the Church is a large church-run school with 1200 pupils. Here are some of the congregation. Karen is pictured second from the left.
