Welcome to October and the beautiful season of Autumn. This month is notable for its Hunter’s Moon – In fact, this special moon is the first of three ‘Supermoons’ of 2025, when the moon is closest to the Earth – and seems especially bright and large in the sky. Here in our minster community, there are many places to see these incredible full moons.
New month and new service pattern

Enjoy the beautiful and bountiful season of Autumn and we look forward to seeing you soon,
The Season of Creation, also known as Creationtide, is recognised by all denominations globally to reflect specifically upon God’s creation and for us to consider what role we play within it. It is a five-week period from 1st September to 4th October where Christians and Churches are asked to pray and use their voices to advocate creation. During this period St Peter’s will join in prayer to give thanks for God’s Creation and to recognise not only its beauty but also the fragility of our world.
This season culminates in our Harvest Festival service on Sunday 12th October at 10.30am. This year any produce collected will go towards helping The Well at Kibworth. During the period of Creationtide, we pledge to commit ourselves to preserve our world and do what we can to encourage others to do so.

We are all aware of how important being in nature is and how it can help us become less stressed and much calmer. Taking a few minutes to sit outside with a cup of tea and being aware of our surroundings can be so beneficial. Indeed praying outside can be a powerful part of our day. When was the last time you had a minute or two in peaceful reflection?
Earlier in the year, St Peter’s was delighted to support the pupils of Church Langton Primary school’s Gardening club. The PCC decided to give every child a giant sunflower seed to grow during the Summer months. Many thanks to all the pupils who took part, especially everyone who took photos to share at school and church.

As we move into Autumn we hope the seedheads will provide much needed Winter food for the birds. Indeed our churchyard would be an ideal place to lay any surplus too.
We give thanks for the creation of our planet, for the creation of all creature large and small, for the circle of life and its continued beauty. As one of our favourite hymns says;
For the beauty of the Earth For the glory of the skies, For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies.
For the wonder of each hour, Of the day and of the night; Hill and vale and tree and flow’r Sun and moon and stars of light.
Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise. “
