Massive Thank You
Posted in Church on Saturday December 15, 2012| 1 Comment »
We have received the following message from Jane B and Glynis D:
An enormous thank you to everyone involved in decorating the Church ready for Christmas. Yesterday 16 people turned up during the day to help arrange foliage on pillars, create arrangements in the porch, on windows and other surfaces, dressing the tree, arranging the crib and cleaning up the Church at the end of the afternoon. Hot drinks, sausage rolls and cakes kept everyone’s energy levels up and Christmas carols echoed through St Peter’s. Work towards the decoration of the Church has gone on all week; on Tuesday and Wednesday we raided numerous gardens, gathering masses of foliage, so thank you to those who welcomed us with our secateurs; 12 pew ends have been beautifully decorated and on Thursday three ladies came in to dress their windows and the school have been working together on creating a lovely eco-tree. Finally thank you to those who very generously donated money, which enabled us to buy flowers for some of the displays.
If you are around on Tuesday 8th January, from 11am, we will be taking all the decorations and arrangements down and help is always appreciated.
Jane & Glynis

In the spirit of Christmas – decorating the Church
Posted in Church on Wednesday December 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »
On Friday 14th December from 10.30am the Church will be decorated ready for Christmas. Most of the windows will be dressed by those who regularly do them, but there is plenty more to do.
We hope that there will be plenty of volunteers, you don’t have to be a flower arranger, but just willing to join in.
Tea, coffee and cakes will be available all morning so why not just pop in and see what we are doing and have a cuppa – everyone is welcome.
Other ways you can help
- Donate foliage from your garden, (especially anything that is variegated, yellow, with berries, seed heads, cones etc) – either pop them into the Church on the Thursday or Friday morning or give one of us a ring and we’ll come round and cut it for you.
- Would you like to sponsor some flowers – as a dedication, in memorium (or as a memorial) or just because it is Christmas.
- Any baubles that you are happy to donate.
Please do pop in, for a drink, to have a look, to decorate or to help clear up.

Take care beneath the conker tree
Posted in Church, Young people on Thursday August 30, 2012| Leave a Comment »
Terry P has asked us to pass on this warning:
Please would you inform your readers of the potential for an accident in the church yard under the horse chestnut tree, more commonly known as a conker tree.
The tree in question has more recently been dropping its branches without warning, and as you know the footpath runs underneath the tree.
What is more worrying is that it is coming up to conker collecting time for the children, so I would ask parents not to let their children under the tree. We certainly do not want any injuries to the little ones, or to anyone else for that matter.

Today saw the marriage of Sarah Ann Howard and Phillip Leslie Carroll in St. Peter’s Church. The bride arrived in a 1966 St Helen’s double-decker bus. The poor church warden (Helen) ringing the carillion had more work than she bargained for (an hour of bell ringing); the bride was delayed by 40 minutes, because the hairdresser arrived late. Hopefully the groom did not get too anxious.

Olympic Bells

If you hear the church bells ringing on Friday morning, then don’t worry, it really isn’t Sunday and World War III hasn’t started!
To mark the opening of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the London Organising Committee is calling for thousands of bells to be rung across the country, and St. Peter’s will be joining in.
The mass bell ringing will begin at 8.12am on Friday, and it will last for 3 minutes.
Further details can be found at www.allthebells.com.

If you haven’t made a boat yet you still have time, either grab a plastic carton or make a paper boat (click for instructions).
