Cream teas 2022

Posted on by

Sunday afternoons starting: Sunday 3rd July, 3pm – 5pm

Langton Community Hall, Stonton Rd, Church Langton,
Market Harborough LE16 7SZ

We invite you to join us for our Sunday afternoon Cream Teas which resume on Sunday afternoons starting in July. We are looking forward to giving you a warm welcome once again to the lovely village of Church Langton and its church of St Peter.

It is a slightly later start to our Cream Tea season than usual, due to commitments of our volunteers with ‘Messiah’ and the recent Open Gardens events, but we are sure it will be worth the wait and look forward to welcoming our regulars and new visitors to enjoy tea and homemade cakes and scones in the Langton Community Hall, where car parking and toilets are available.

St Peter’s church is open to visitors at the same time, please so take a tour of our lovely church and its grounds and then enjoy a tea!

Homemade cakes and scones available for purchase as well as plants and produce, bookmarks and Guide Books of St Peter’s Church.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Here comes Summer! 🙂

A Weekend of ‘Messiah’ at St Peter’s

Posted on by

Alleluia – Thank you!

65 singers from choirs across Leicester and Leicestershire, the Knighton Chamber Orchestra and four soloists, former Leicester University students, were conducted by Dr. Paul Jenkins. The audience in the almost full church were mesmerised by the beauty and volume of the music which resonated outside to nearby residents.

The performance completes the National Lottery Heritage Activities for the grant work to repair the roofs as well as raising £3,252.85 and after expenses, £1,403.64 for St. Peter’s (much better than William Hanbury did—he couldn’t afford to pay the orchestra!) 

Thanks to all who gave their support especially the volunteers from the PCC for preparing the church and at the concert, and Roz Folwell for her leadership and commitment to the event.

Barry Barnes, Secretary to the PCC of Church Langton.

The Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

Posted on by

A simple prayer of thanks for her Majesty’s long life and service – We rejoice in her unique ability to bring communities, countries and people together. Enjoy each other’s company over this Jubilee weekend and, we pray, for many years to come.

Long may she reign!

Gracious God, we give you thanks
for the reign of your servant Elizabeth our Queen,
and for the example of loving and faithful service
which she has shown among us.
Help us to follow her example of dedication
and to commit our lives to you and to one another,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
