Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal 2023

Details of the Remembrance Sunday service for the Langton villages will be announced soon, but as this year’s Poppy Appeal is launched this week, we want help you to support any way you can.

THE 2023/24 POPPY APPEAL STARTS IN OCTOBER: 
National Launch Thursday 26th October until 11th November. Poppy sales in all outlets from Thursday 26th. You can donate directly to the Royal British Legion here.

Donations in The Langton villages

Members of our community in the Langtons come together like so many across the country, to remember the sacrifice made by our service men and women in the conflicts and wars in the world. At our Remembrance service, all proceeds kindly donated in the service at
St Peter’s support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

This year, for the first time, we can offer secure online donations, so that you can make a contribution even if you can’t attend the service.

All the money we raise goes to the Harborough branch of the Royal British Legion, so has a local connection for supporters based in this area. You can read more about the Harborough branch on their website here on this link.

However you choose to support, please do – Thank you.

The Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III

We at St Peter’s and our church community offer our sincere best wishes for King Charles and Queen Camilla on their most special day.

The King’s Prayer

God of compassion and mercy
whose Son was sent not to be served but to serve,
give grace that I may find in thy service perfect freedom
and in that freedom knowledge of thy truth.
Grant that I may be a blessing to all thy children,
of every faith and conviction,
that together we may discover the ways of gentleness
and be led into the paths of peace.
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

This prayer is part of the ceremony on Saturday 6th May.
