Who we are
Our heart is to love people, and love God, no, really - through acts of loving service, attending to the presence of our amazing and beautiful God through our services and with our lives, growing lifelong disciples of Jesus so we become more like him, and seeking the flourishing of each and every person in our community and beyond.
We have two services each week:
10:30am on Sunday mornings
10am on Thursday mornings.
The first Sunday of each month is an informal altogether family service.
The church building is at the heart of our village and is a popular venue for services, weddings, baptisms and musical concerts - please contact our administrator at the church office to find out more.
Through the week we have lots going on with activities for people of every age;
On Monday mornings in term time, we have our Little Ps parent and toddler group.
Every third Monday of the month in the afternoon, we have a Friendship Group for elderly people and their carers.
We also host a twice monthly community meal, open to anyone and everyone, from 12.30pm on the 1st and 4th Mondays of the month. You can enjoy a hot two course meal, funded in part by Rushcliffe Reach from Rushcliffe Borough Council, and good company as we share life together.
As a church, we want to see our local community thrive and flourish and to be a place of welcome and acceptance, and to this end we host and get stuck into lots of activities that make up village life.
You might come and join in and enjoy lots of Margaret's fabulous cake, come on a school visit, host community groups like the Gardeners Club or mark the landmarks of life, like weddings, funerals and Christenings - all where we seek to embrace each person with the open arms of Jesus.
Whether you are a local resident exploring faith or an established Christian moving into the area you are welcome to come and see us and to meet the family at St. Peter’s.
St. Peter’s is part of the wider church in Ruddington working in partnership with the village Baptist and Methodist Churches
Care for creation
As a church, we are committed to caring for creation as stewards of the world God created for flourishing for all.
We are currently working towards an Eco Church status, with the Bronze Award our first goal for this year, an Eco Champion on our PCC and a regular commitment at PCC meetings to address care for creation as regular practice. We are also committed to at least two creation care church services each year, our first taking place in March at our family focused Altogether Service, about Fairtrade.
We are also committed to using only Fairtrade products where possible.
You can see what the Church of England is doing regarding caring for creation and the environment here.
