Address

The small congregation at St Peter’s is very welcoming, and we would love to see you at our services. The worship is carefully prepared but fairly informal in tone, and aims to be inclusive – we would like everyone to feel at home here. At this service all are welcome to receive the bread and the wine if it is your usual practice, or you can come forward to receive a blessing. We use the practise of intinction, which means dipping the wafer into the wine. As part of this service there will be a number of hymns, two bible readings and a sermon.

Following the service, tea, coffee and biscuits will be served for all to enjoy.

Contemplative Prayer Group

Occurring
Monthly. Every Second Monday at for 45 mins
Venue
Benefice Office/ Den
Address
Church Street Cheddar

We meet on the second Monday of each month at 11am. We are using a pattern of prayer used by the Fellowship of Contemplative Prayer (http://www.contemplative-prayer.org.uk/). Each session begins with relaxation, followed by an introduction to the saying for the day which is a short sentence of scripture. This saying is repeated as a mantra in three sections of about 7-8 minutes: first thinking about the saying, second allowing the saying to ‘speak’ to the heart and the third in which we use the saying to pray for others. The session ends with a final prayer. There is no pressure to share anything or to pray aloud. We finish at 11.45. Everyone welcome.

For children aged from 5 to 12 years

This year we are again offering a FREE Church Holiday Club, which will be taking place in Cheddar Village Hall and the Old Vicarage garden from 9.30am to 12.30pm, for four days from Monday 24th to Thursday 27th August 2026.

We will be looking at stories and their meanings (parables) that Jesus told using games, craft activities and storytelling.

Booking forms should be returned by the end of term if you want to secure a place for your child/ren. Some years we are oversubscribed so please only sign up if your child is able to come for the whole week, not just the odd day.

On the Thursday, at the end of the session, we will share what we have been doing during our time together, hopefully giving you a glimpse of the fun the children have enjoyed at Holiday Club. There will also be a barbeque in the Old Vicarage garden, weather permitting, so do try to keep this date free. There will be more details of this during the Holiday Club
