Beautiful service in St Peter’s Church

The Easter message rang out loud and clear in church today, despite a misty and cold start to Easter Day.

Inside, there was warmth and good spirits. We were delighted to welcome families and friends from all our villages and share the Easter message, communion and sing!

The church was transformed into Easter glory by the spring flower arrangements, prayer tree and Easter Garden.

The joy and hope of Jesus’s resurrection and promise of new life is the most precious gift in these days. Alleluia!

Remembrance Sunday: An update from Sunday

Posted on by

We were delighted to welcome over 50 people to the service of Remembrance at the weekend. The church was decorated beautifully by our team of flower arrangers and we were thrilled to display a Poppy Collage made by the children from Church Langton School. Rev Martin gave a moving address including mention of the crucifix of nails made after the bombing of Coventry in World War II. Wreaths for the local men who lost their lives in World War I and II were blessed and then taken to the War Memorial on the village green.

We wish to thank everyone who donated on the day and online to our collection for the Royal British Legion. We raised £209.00 which is winging its way to the Harborough branch as we write this. This is our best year yet so we can’t thank you enough for your generous support for this wonderful cause.

Enjoy the photographs of the church taken by Alison Thurlby.

For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”
