For safety reasons we don't publish the Zoom details for our services or meetings online. If you'd like to join us on Zoom, please get in touch for the details.

Tomorrow's service will be Splash! - our all-age service.

We'll be meeting at the chapel and on Zoom at 10.30am as usual, and exploring the idea of God being our 'healer' through songs, quizzes, craft, stories and more.

Do join us if you can! You're welcome to join us at the chapel or on Zoom. Please get in touch for the Zoom details.

On Sunday 12th March at 6pm we'll be holding a time prayer and praise at the chapel. This will be an informal time to worship and pray together as the Spirit leads.

Everyone is welcome to join us!

There is no Partnership Lent course this year. However, St. Peter's Church would like to invite everyone to four sessions they are running looking at Richard Rohr's book 'The Universal Christ.' Fr. Richard comes from a radical Mystical and contemplative school of catholic theology in the same vein and stable as Julian of Norwich, William Blake and Thomas Merton and while you don’t need to have necessarily read the book, it would give a solid background to the course.

The sessions will start at 7pm in the Peter Hall, on the following dates:

• Tuesday 14^th March – The four worldviews
• Wednesay 22^nd March – Spiritual transformation.
• Tuesday 28^th March – Christ is everywhere
• Wednesday 5^th April – Contemplation
