from the Vicar . . . Church Services
One of the projects that
I have proposed since
arriving here is to have
St Peter’s church open
every day, for visitors,
private prayer etc.
There are several
other projects which
the Church Council
is considering and
which I would like to
share with people. So
on March 8th, after a
shortened Morning
Praise service,
we will be giving
a presentation in
church about these
projects.
They include the
Open Church project
and a number of
other projects which we are calling “the Refreshment of St. Peter’s”. We
will also talk about the future use of the churchyard for burials.
If you are interested in any of this, please do come to our 10am service
and stay after for the presentation and discussion.
