Take a break from the hustle and bustle in Stockport Town Centre and join us for an informal Carol Service followed by festive refreshments in the community cafe area. The church will remain open for private prayer, reflection and candle lighting for an hour after the service so you can take time out to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
1pm Service
Open until 3pm
Best wishes for a happy and healthy Christmas from all at St Peter’s!
St Peter’s will be open from 10am – 1pm for a 1940s themed tea party, and take part in the national two-minutes silence at 12noon at our war memorial.
Enjoy tea, coffee or cold drinks and cakes in our cafe area with 1940s music and traditional games.
Share memories of days gone by at our new ‘memories chat’ table with old pictures/books etc to spark conversations with new friends.
Read the harrowing stories of church members who never returned from the horrific Japanese prisoner of war camps, and whose names are forever remembered on our war memorial.
Take time out for quiet reflection/prayer or light a candle in the peaceful, traditional church.
Apart from a worthy date to remember, we hope the event will act as a successful pilot with a view to reopening our cafe area on a permanent basis. Volunteers wuld be most welcome to help us to achieve this and provide a cheap & cheerful space for people to socialise and take time out for prayer/reflection.
During Lent Stations of the Cross will take place on 28th March and 11th April at 12.30pm
A reading and prayer is said at each of the stations around the church, with a different theme each session. It is a deep spiritual and contemplative experience during this time of Lent. All are welcome to join us.
