HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022
A Service of Thanksgiving and Holy Communion held on the first Sunday of the period of mourning for Her Majesty was well attended – our grateful thanks are extended to Rev’d Jes Salt for such a moving service which gave us an opportunity to reflect on the life of dedication of our late Queen and for thanksgiving for her long life.

HONOURING GOD AND CREATION
Join us at the church at 2:30pm on Saturday, 8th October for a lively and informative talk on environmental matters and the path to Net Zero Carbon by 2030 and for an opportunity to meet with Bishop John, the Bishop of Brixworth, who has particular responsibility for the environment in Peterborough Diocese.  Tea will follow.

This event was well attended and informative.
