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!

This weekend sees the first Sunday of Advent when Christians anticipate and remember the birth of Jesus.
Advent is a time of quiet contemplation and prayer for four weeks before the festival of Christmas itself. It has its own hymns and carols such as O Come Emanuel, which reflect this beautiful time.
Christmas, at the end of December is the most joyous season as we all know and love, with feast and song as the news of Jesus’s birth brings hope and light!
This December, we are delighted to offer worship and activities to reflect both Advent and Christmas in all our villages in the Langtons and Welham Benefices.
We have produced a Christmas card with all the details. The card will be delivered to the parishioners of St Peter’s Church this weekend, but for friends further afield, there is a PDF to download below, with all the services listed, along with a Christmas message from our Lay Incumbent, Maxine Johnson.
We hope you can join us for some of the services but also wish our friends and followers here who live further away, a very peaceful Advent season and a joyful Christmas when it comes. Thank you 🙏
