Dear Friends,
This Sunday we have our very own VIP’s visiting St Peter’s! We are very honoured to have Bishop Kosea and Grace Odongo, from Uganda. Bishop Kosea will be preaching! Please come and stay for the ‘bring and share meal’ after the service.
God bless,
Andrew
Prayer for the week: please pray for all of those contemplating baptism on the 20th July. Pray for courage and joy!
Bring and Share Lunch for the church family after Service – this Sunday, 22nd June 2025. At our service on Sunday 22nd June we have guests from Teso, Uganda, sharing the service with us. It would be good to share fellowship after the service, with them, and with one another. So please bring your quiches, sandwiches, drinks and cakes in true Church of England style and we can enjoy spending time together as a church family with our guests.

Singing workshops for children: St Mary's in the Lace Market is holding two singing workshops for all interested children aged 6-11: ‘Sing Joyfully!’ (a workshop for girls) will be held on Monday 14th July at St Marys and ‘Boys Make Noise!’ (a workshop for boys) is on Tuesday 15th July at St Peter’s (the church in town, not us!). Both workshops are free and will give children the opportunity to learn a variety of sacred and secular music, to sing with the St Mary’s choirs and to perform a concert to their parents. For more information, click the relevant link: Sing Joyfully (girls) or Boys Make Noise (boys).

Generally the age group catered for is KS1, KS2 and KS3. Younger children would need a parent with them. We also have a creche for our youngest children.
Your News Snippets Still Wanted: For example, any challenges that have been overcome or what Christian resources you have found helpful. Or indeed, any other faith or church-related news.
