Lasting about half an hour, the gathering begins and ends with music, and includes a short Bible reading, and about 20 minutes of quiet. It is a time for peaceful contemplation, focusing on God who is within each of us. It is not always easy to still the mind, but being together is helpful and supportive.
Anyone is very welcome to share this time of calm with us, and find the refreshment it brings.
The Service is adapted from the Iona Abbey Worship Book .

One of the many nice things about Catcott coffee mornings is that they are held in the homes of generous folk, happy to be invaded for an hour or so. They are relaxed and welcoming gatherings where you can meet up in a home with old friends, or make new ones.
Just drop in, or stay for the whole time.
All are very welcome.

Yes it's that time of year again, and the The Friends of St Peter's Church, together with the Catcott Village Association, are again supporting the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. We know and appreciate how wonderfully generous the people of Catcott are, and hope you will once again rise to the occasion.
Thank you.
The Salvation Army collection is for new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present. They work with local agencies to provide a food parcel and new toys for families in the area.
Please bring donations to St Peter's Church from 10am to 1pm on
