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
Enjoying a Cream Tea together
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.
Ride and Stride
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.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Carol Service last night. So lovely to see so many of you!
The flower team have surpassed themselves and the Nativities (we have two!)! are both out on display.
The knitted version and traditional ceramic figures are in their stables but you’ll notice that baby Jesus hasn’t arrived just yet and the Wise Men are waiting in the wings.
Woolly NativityThe Traditional Nativity
Thank you to Rev Martin and Maxine Johnson for devising a lovely service of familiar Bible readings, more recent reflections and prayers.
So many favourite carols highlighted the words and thanks as always to Keith Folwell for playing the piano.
Thanks to all the readers, and the team, for mince pies, mulled wine and tea and coffee to finish.
It was lovely to see everyone and our thanks go to everyone who generously donated to our Christmas Appeal supporting the Al Shurooq School in Bethlehem. (See our post yesterday).
The appeal runs in church and online over Christmas until 5th January, so we’ll keep you posted with the amount raised.
