Cream Teas 2024

St Peter’s Church Welcomes Everyone to Their Sunday Afternoon Teas. 

Served every Sunday in the church from 3pm-5pm – Until 1st September

There are a few weeks left to experience a special Sunday afternoon treat at St Peter’s church. Lovely homemade cakes to tempt the taste buds served in the beautiful environment of this wonderful church.  

A Community Summer Treat

St Peter’s is a community church in the truest sense of the word. A Sunday afternoon Cream Tea serves homemade cakes and scones made by the local community, along with tea and coffee served by local volunteers and worshippers – even encouragement to a local Duke of Edinburgh Award student, as she rolls up her sleeves and washes up. Everyone involved gives their time freely to this longstanding community summer treat.

A time of community and communing

Visitors to Cream Teas have a lovely opportunity to spend time together; to chat, catch up and enjoy the unique peace the church space offers. There is a lovely atmosphere as people enjoy each other’s company in this special place.

We also now have our prayer tree. For anyone who wishes to have prayers said, they are invited to write their request on a leaf and hang it on the tree. All leaves are read and prayers offered by our lay team privately, at quiet times during the week.

Helping to fund a bright future

St Peter’s has a rich and long history, dating back over 800 years. However, it is a church that lives and works very much in the present, with a lively association with its parish villages and the local school.

Together, we aim to keep the church viable to serve its community for many more years by developing the building and adopting processes that better serve the wider environment. We are a newly established Eco Church looking to improve the carbon footprint of the building. Read all about it here.

All proceeds from Cream Teas will assist our project to improve facilities at the church.  Our Cream Teas are a vital element of fundraising for this cause.

Ride and Stride at St Peter’s

Saturday 9th September 2022

Ride + Stride is the single largest source of income for many Historic Churches Trusts enabling them to make Grants to places of Christian worship. Taking place on the second Saturday of September the funds raised can be split between the nominated Trust and the participants chosen church or chapel.

As ever Ride+Stride is a wonderful way to enjoy getting out and about safely as well as raising much-needed funds to support Grant applications from churches and chapels across the county. 

St Peter’s is delighted to be taking part again this year – so look forward to welcoming you on foot, bike or hoof! If you are a bicycle or horse rider or a walker (Shanks’s pony?!), you would be most welcome to join this lovely event, which benefits so many churches locally and around the country.

St. Peter’s is looking for families to take part in this year’s Ride & Stride fundraiser on Saturday 9th September. A number of churches around here will be open for you to walk, cycle or ride to during the day. Church Warden Sue Johnson 07964073813 & Roz Folwell have sponsor forms and a list of local churches to plan your route or go on the website https://www.lhct.org.uk/ride-and-stride
