Christmas Services at St Peter’s Church Horningsea

Posted on November 29, 2024 by Chris Lindley

Traditional Candlelit Carol Service

Sunday 8th December at 18.00

The annual, traditional Carol Service will be on Sunday 8 December at 18.00. The church is filled with hundreds of candles, the oil lamps are lit and the electric lights are switched off. The service begins with one child singing the first verse of Once in Royal David’s City, other children join in the second verse and then the congregation sing. There will be a couple of new readings but the usual Bible readings tell the story of the birth of the baby Jesus in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago. The musical Young People of Horningsea will play a special Carol and Fen Edge singers will sing but mostly the well known carols will be sung by the congregation. Children carry lanterns in procession to the crib. If you have never been you should try to come this year – dress up warm and arrive early to get a seat as some years it has been standing room only. 

Gifts of mince pies to share with a hot drink after the service are always welcome! 

A Family Crib Service

Saturday 21 December at 15.00

Families of all ages are invited to this short service when the children help build the crib as each of the characters make their way to the stable. Children can come dressed as someone from the Nativity – it doesn’t matter if we have 4 Mary’s or half a dozen Wise People!

Christmas Day

25 December at 10.30

A Family Holy Communion with Carols to celebrate Christmas Day. 

And for those wanting a  quiet, peaceful period of time in amongst all the bustle why not come to the late evening service of Compline on Wednesday 18 December at 8.30pm.

Horningsea Herald November 2024

Posted on November 1, 2024 by Chris Lindley

Here’s the November Herald.

It’s the highlight of the Horningsea winter season – The very popular HRA Firework display and bonfire. Do arrive early as the Fen Ditton bonfire was cancelled this year so expect a larger crowd than normal!

St Peter’s Church – Services for November

Posted on October 31, 2024 by Chris Lindley

A Time to Remember

Saturday 2 November at 15:00 at St Peter’s Church Horningsea

As part of the season which includes All Souls and All Saints, there will be an opportunity to join together to remember those you have loved who are with us no longer and to light a candle in their memory. Whether your loved one died recently or a long time ago do come along for this special, quiet and contemplative service.

Horningsea Candlelit Carol Service

Sunday 8 December at 18:00

Liz Harrison will be co-ordinating the decoration of the Church for the Candlelit Carol Service. If you have never been, the church is filled with many hundreds of candles all of which have to be put in place in good time. If you have been to the service you will know how splendid the church looks with the oil lamps lit and the hundreds of candles flickering in the dark. Liz will need help from the weekend of 22 November to ensure that everything is in place by 8 December. Please come and help – give an hour or so over that weekend or during the week … or subsequent weekends until all is ready!

Remembrance Day in Horningsea

Sunday 10 November: 10.15 at St Peter’s Church; 10.45 at the War Memorial in the Jubilee Gardens

The traditional Service of Remembrance will be held as usual in Horningsea leading to the 2 Minutes Silence at 11 o’clock. During the Service John Wilson will tell us about the men of Horningsea who died in the first and second World Wars. This year he will also ask us to remember Capt James M Farmer, an American pilot who died when his plane crashed on Quy Fen in July 1945. He was a highly decorated pilot of the 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group who had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with 8 Oak Leaf Clusters.

Poppy wreaths will be placed on the War Memorial by organisations based in the Village.

The Fallen of Horningsea are listed on the village website.
