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.
Working with Groundwork who will be holding an event in St Peter’s Square at the same time, we will be holding a graveyard tidy event for anyone who wants to get involved and spruce up St Peter’s graveyard. Free refreshments will be available for volunteers, and onsite toilets of course.
Many gravestones are unreadable at the moment, but are fascinating to see and research. The earliest stone is from 1768 when Mary Wolstoncroft was buried on the 19th June. We hope this event, if successful will be the first of many so we can make the local area look better, and rediscover some of the fascinating hidden tales the churchyard has to offer.
Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
