We are very excited about the Coronation and the church is decorated ready. Huge thanks to Sue for working her floral magic and to Maxine J for the photos. Here’s the entrance to the church, why not come and see them and take a look inside too!
Meanwhile, how about sending your photos from this momentous weekend to post on our website gallery? You can email or post on our Facebook page. It should be a memorable weekend!
God save the King! 🇬🇧
Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day are as important this year as ever, as we remember everyone who has sacrificed so much in continued difficult times, but especially this year, the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Remembrance Sunday service for the Langton villages

The service will take place in St Peter’s Church in Church Langton, starting at 10.30am and lasts for about an hour. The service will be lead by Rev Martin Hathaway and Lay Incubment, Maxine Johnson, with contributions from our church members from Tur and Thorpe Langton.

Act of Remembrance and Two-Minute Silence: 11am
The Act of Remembrance and two-minute silence at 11am take place inside the church as part of the Remembrance Service, when the names of our local war dead are read and the wreaths for the Langton villages are blessed.
Laying of wreaths at the War Memorial: 11:45 – 12noon
After the service in church, the congregation will process from the church to the village green where where the wreath for Church Langton will be laid on the War Memorial.
The wreaths from our sister villages will be returned and laid at their village memorials separately.
We hope you can join us for the service in St Peter’s and the laying of the wreath at the village green.
“When you go home, tell them of us and say

For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”

Evening prayers will be said at 6pm each evening from Monday during this time of mourning and you are welcome to join us then or at other times of day to reflect quietly.
We invite you to our service this coming Sunday, 11th September, 2022 at 10:30am to reflect together. This service will include Holy Communion.

O God, the maker and redeemer of all mankind, grant us, with thy
servant QUEEN ELIZABETH and all the faithful departed, the sure
benefits of thy Son’s saving passion and glorious resurrection; that in the
last day, when all things are gathered up in Christ, we may with them
enjoy the fullness of thy promises; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one
God, world without end. Amen
