Chariot Wheels














Today the Sunday Squad baked delicious Chariot Wheel biscuits. Many hands made light work rolling out the biscuit dough, and carefully cutting out the rounds. As the biscuits were baking, we listened to the story of the parting of the red sea, whilst enjoying the delicious smells wafting from the oven. Toast took second place today!

The Way Ahead?

The vestry have met several times lately to talk about the future of St Peter's. We are approximately £200 short every month of what we need to maintain a full time stipendiary priest. With very little reserves in the bank it has become obvious that we need to start thinking about all the alternatives.
Members of the vestry are taking it in turns to lead a time of prayer about this specific issue each Sunday after the 10.30 service. This time of prayer is open to everyone and we hope will provide some answers as to the way forward for our church. The vestry are writing to the Bishop to ask for his input and will be writing to each member of the congregation in the next wee while to inform them of the situation.
The vestry would very much appreciate your prayer support at this time as we look to God for direction and guidance.

Garden of Eden Fruit Kebabs

The Sunday Squad started the summer off with a bang by making Garden of Eden fruit kebabs. There was chopping and peeling to be done and then everyone helped to skewer the fruit on to the kebab sticks. There was an outcry, however, when it was revealed that we were to have the fruit kebabs instead of our traditional toast after the service. The matter was readily rectified though with a quick trip up to the rectory for a loaf!! After all.. it's aye been!!!!
