Cream Teas 2024
The Cream Teas were held in St. Peter’s, Church Langton during July and August and raised £1,040 for improvements to the church.
We are very pleased to have had some new volunteers to help and the increasing numbers who came along to sample the cakes and scones. Thank you to all those who helped serve, those who made the delicious cakes and those who came along to have a Cream Tea.
A Community Summer Treat
St Peter’s is a community church in the truest sense of the word. A Sunday afternoon Cream Teas offer homemade cakes and scones made by the local community, along with tea and coffee served by local volunteers and worshipers. Everyone involved gives their time freely to this longstanding community summer treat. We hope to see you next year.
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.
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.
Ride & Stride 2024
Leicestershire Historic Trust’s major annual fund-raising activity, Ride + Stride, took place this year on Saturday 14th September. Half the money raised from sponsorship goes to the church. St. Peter’s raised. We had 10 visitors and raised £156. A big thank you to congregation member Chris Beere who stayed all day to register the visitors.
This is a lovely family event that takes place every year. Families can walk or cycle to all our local churches to get their sponsorship forms signed and raise money for their village church. We hope to see more people joining in next year.
Looking ahead to 2025
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. However, we appreciate that times are hard for many people just now; money and time are more precious than ever.
Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who gives their time and money to support the building itself and also the charities and causes St Peter’s also supports.
Happy New Year!
