St Peter’s Church services during January

  • Sunday 7th January – the church will celebrate The Epiphany – the visit of the Wise Men to Bethlehem, following the star. This is a chance to sing the Epiphany carols, so if you are missing carol singing, this could be another chance to sing!
  • Sunday 14 January – instead of the usual 16.00 service we are lucky to be able to go to The Fitzwilliam with Ben Quash at 15.00 – places are limited so email Nick.moir@3parishes.org if you would like to join the expedition. Ben is Professor of Christianity and the Arts at Kings College London. He will be showing us a number of Epiphany paintings. It should be a fascinating afternoon.
  • Sunday 21 January 10.30 Holy Communion at Horningsea

The joint service on 28th January will be in Teversham.

Thank you from St Peter’s Church

Thank you to everyone who helped prepare the church for the Carol Service and other Christmas services – and for taking part, singing, playing, reading, dressing up at the Nativity, and coming as part of the congregation to all the services. If you enjoyed the services and would like to help put the candles etc. away, why not come along on Saturday 6th January at 10.30 for an hour or so. We will probably have another tidying and clearing session on Saturday 13th January too!
