Mountsorrel Church

Hello and welcome to the Mountsorrel Church website. Here you will find information about the events and services on offer at Christ Church and at St Peter’s Church in Mountsorrel.

This week may be the school half-term holiday, but we are still open for Sunday worship as usual. We would love to extend this invitation to you to join us at one or both of these services:

At St Peter’s Church, 9.30am Revd Colin Resch will be lead a service of Holy Communion assisted by Alison White who will be sharing from God’s Word. This service will be especially suitable for families but not to the exclusion of anyone else either. The service will be followed by free refreshments so do stay and chat afterwards if you can.

At Christ Church, 11am there will be a service of Morning Prayer which will include welcoming Axel and his family into our church as they bring him for Baptism. This service will also be followed by free refreshments so it will be a delight to chat with you afterwards if you are able to stay.

Hi and welcome to our website. This opening paragraph is an invitation for you to come and join us in worship this weekend. We have a lot going on in our churches and you can find out more about what we do here on our website; but at the heart of who we are is our worship of the living God.

On Friday this week, at St Peter’s Church, 7pm there will be a special service of Prayer and Remembrance to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week. Anyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby either before or after birth is welcome to join us for a short reflective service which will include the opportunity to light a candle in remembrance. Coming together in this way can help us to realise that we are not alone on this painful journey and it is our hope that in the sharing of one another’s pain we find some measure of healing too.

On Saturday 14 October in the orchard behind Christ Church, we gather for our monthly Muddy Church. This outdoor act of worship will see us explore nature, sing together at the fire pit and maybe even cook something to eat. If you’ve never been before, head to the back of Christ Church just before 4pm and follow the noise and the smell of smoke.

On Sunday 15 October we worship in our Churches. At Christ Church, 11am we have a service of Holy Communion with prayers for healing being offered. Then at St Peter’s Church, 6pm we have a service of Evening Prayer (Evensong). Both of these services will be followed by free refreshments so we hope you will be able to stay and join us for tea/coffee and chat.

Welcome to Mountsorrel Churches. At the heart of all we do is our worship. Why not join us this coming weekend?

On Sunday 8 October we begin with a service of Holy Communion at St Peter’s Church, 9.30am. This service will be led by me, Colin Resch. Then at Christ Church, 11am we have a service of All Age Worship and Harvest Festival for all the family. This will be led by Alison White, one of our children and families team. Later on, at 4pm, we return to St Peter’s Church for our Senior Sunday service which will be led by Mel Rowley and followed by afternoon tea.

Whether you are new to Church or just haven’t been for a while, you will be guaranteed a very warm welcome at any of our services. If you have any questions while you are with us, please speak with a member of our welcome team and they will be pleased to assist you.

I hope to see you soon,
With every blessing, Coln Resch.

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.
