I’m so glad you have found our website and I hope you find it useful and informative. This weekend, as always, you have the opportunity to join us in person for worship at our churches. On Sunday 1st October, we begin with a service of Morning Prayer (Matins) at St Peter’s Church, 9.30am. This service is a traditional service with words taken from The Book of Common Prayer. We continue at Christ Church, 11am with a service of Holy Communion using contemporary language.
Later, at 4pm, we will be meeting for family craft fun for all ages with our Fun@4 and Youth@4 sessions. These take place at Christ Church and are open for anyone to join.
I hope I will have the opportunity to see you at one or more of these services. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never been to church before, or if it’s been a while – you will be guaranteed a warm welcome.
Revd, Colin Resch, priest in charge.
During our Morning Worship at Christ Church on Sunday 24 September, we welcomed Eddie into our Church family at his baptism service. The service was led by our Associate Minister, Mel Rowley; the preacher was Revd Colin Resch and we welcomed back into our Church Revd Darren Walker who performed the baptism.
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.
Hello and welcome to our website. Here is where you will find out more about all that we are doing as God’s people in Mountsorrel. There are all sorts of activities, events and services that you can join in with.
This coming weekend, we’d love to invite you to join us for a special service of Holy Communion designed for people of all ages. The service will take place at St Peter’s Church, Market Place beginning at 9.30am and will be led by me, Revd Colin Resch. The talk will be given by Alison White, one of our children and families team. For those that like a bit of a lie-in, at 11am, there will be a service of Sunday Worship at Christ Church (top of the Green) and will include the baptism of Eddie.
If you are new to Church or haven’t been for a while, you can be assured of a warm welcome to either of our churches. Just turn up a few minutes before the service is due to start and find a seat. If you have any questions when you are there, please ask one of our welcome team who will be happy to help.

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