Services for December 2023

Posted on 30/11/2023 by St Peter's Church, Church Langton, Leicestershire

Services for Advent and Christmas

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 🙏

Night sky at St Peter’s

Posted on 10/11/2023 by St Peter's Church, Church Langton, Leicestershire

Autumn is a wonderful time to reflect on and enjoy the night sky. The days draw in and October gives us a chance to enjoy beautiful sunsets.

Once the sun has set, the atmosphere changes again.. The stars are out and bats may be glimpsed darting through the trees, especially so in an ancient churchyard…

These glorious photographs of St Peter’s church and the night skies were taken by James Cullen.

The images are dramatic and striking in colour and viewpoint.

The building looks amazing, but the stars beyond hold even more wonder…
