St Peter’s Harvest Appeal

This year, our donations will be going to The Well, at Kibworth. Not only does The Well have a Coffee shop and a second hand shop, selling clothes etc; but a vital part of their work is the food bank. They deliver parcels of much-needed food to families in the area struggling to make ends meet in these challenging times.

How you can support and donate

To this end, we have put out a collection station just inside the main door of the church. Please donate tinned food, such as tomatoes, beans, custard and rice or dry ingredients such as pasta and rice, breakfast cereals, biscuits, tea, coffee and similar essential items.

The Harvest collection will be delivered to The Well next week. We will also be making a cash donation to The Well to help buy such things as toiletries etc, such things which are not so frequently offered.

Donating funds and online donations

You can make a money donation by using the cashless Collectin terminal located near to the collection station. Simply choose one of the options suggested or choose your own amount and follow the instructions. Do give time for the machine to process your donation.

Online donations

Alternatively, you can also make a donation online using the button link below.

Flower Festival at St. Peter’s / Choral Evensong

Posted on 10/09/2023 by St Peter's Church, Church Langton, Leicestershire

A wonderful weekend

Leicester Cathedral Choir sang at St. Peter’s Church for a full Choral Evensong on Sunday 2nd July to mark the Festival of St. Petertide and to close a wonderful weekend of flowers, cakes and smiles.

The service was lead by Canon Philip Norwood, a longtime friend of our local
churches. Canon Philip has been part of our spiritual life, preaching and leading
worship over the years at Church, Tur and more recently Thorpe Langton. His voice was a joy to hear again.

Flower Festival

Our flower arranging team and many other volunteers, friends and family brought flowers and accessories to fill the church with summer!

From Wimbledon to the Tour de France, the seaside to the countryside, afternoon teas, garden to allotment, wildlife, bees and birds – All aspects of summer life were reflected in the displays. The displays took us from home to abroad, even to the gardens of South Africa – A world trip in flowers!

It was amazing! Incredible ingenuity and imagination in every part of the church.

Fundraising THANK YOU

This weekend event raised over £1500 towards the Tower Project. We were overwhelmed by the generosity in these difficult times. It was a great coming together of our parishes and village community to decorate and celebrate and give thanks.

Enjoy a few memories here, but please send your photos too – We would love to add them to the website gallery! You can send them to us on our Facebook page or send them by email or for large files/videos use We Transfer to info@churchlangton.org.uk
