Small Groups- A Quiet, Devotional Time

In a large church like St Peter's it can sometimes feel difficult to belong so we have small groups to encourage friendship and support. Within these small groups there will be the opportunity to explore further the theme of the Sunday morning sermon series ‘Living like Jesus’ 
Week 1 - group study notes
Week 2 - group study notes
Week 3 - group study notes

Why not join one of the small groups? To join one or to find out more please speak to one of the clergy or Norma Townley

 
Preparing for Lent

ImageI am writing this in January when Woolton is decked in snow and my daughter Katy has just sent me a text from Newcastle saying she has had enough of the cold and is longing to bask in some sunshine!

That sent me on a line of thought about the treatment given in the past to sufferers of tuberculosis. They were put out in the sunlight and fresh air. The patients didn’t have to do anything; the sun effected the cure.

Prayer is just as simple.

Looking back to 2009

ImageOn a cold and frosty winter's day it is a good time to look back at a number of wedding service held at St Peter's last year, The following article features a number of the weddings held in church ln 2009.

The weather is not the most important factor at a wedding but, after a week of torrential rain, it was wonderful to see Bernie enter church with her father, Paddy, in bright sunshine. Bernie’s marriage to Kevin is the final service scheduled St Peter’s this year and it was every bit as special. Led by the Rector the service included a blessing for Bernie’s young granddaughter Tallulah, to make this very much a family occasion.. Hymns included were “Give me joy in my heart” and “Praise my soul the King of heaven” whilst Kip preached on John 2: 1-11. A special day for this delightful couple and we send them all the best wishes from St Peter’s for their future happiness together.

A Church Hall Wedding Reception

ImageFor the first time for many years the Church Hall was used to host a wedding reception this weekend. Undaunted by the challenges of preparing the Hall for such an event the couple, Andrew and Susannah,  with the help many friends transformed the Hall into a bright, friendly and welcoming venue for over 100 guests. Following their marriage earlier in the afternoon at Bluecoat School Chapel Andy and Susie arrived at the Hall to enjoy a wonderful evening. This was a really special occasion (marred only by the fact that I never took a photo of the couple in the Hall!) and hopefully St Peter’s can host similar events in the future.

A Wedding at St Peter's?
ImageRecent changes in the law by the "Church of England Marriage Measure 2008 Act" have significantly changed the criteria governing in which parish church you can be married. The act now allows more freedom in the choice of where couples may marry and recognises that many couples have previously been prohibited from celebrating their marriage at what they consider their home church. For more details you can read more on our "Wedding" page or speak to a member of the clergy or the Verger
 
The Beatles Connection

Image“Almost certainly the most important meeting in popular music history” is how the first meeting of John Lennon and Paul McCartney has recently been described. The meeting took place at St Peter’s Church Hall on the evening of Saturday, 6th July 1957........

Whilst waiting to play at the church dance that night, John Lennon and the other members of the Quarrymen Skiffle Group were introduced to the young Paul McCartney by a mutual friend.
