St Peter's Church, Swettenham

St. Peter's Church is a beautiful, listed building serving the Parish of Swettenham. The village is situated some five miles north-west of Congleton on the banks of the River Dane, which flows though the parish in a delightful and unspoilt valley, breaking up the flat but well-wooded country lying to the north and south. To the east the plain rises gently to a background formed by the east Cheshire hills.

We aim to serve the parish as a broad church, a musical church, an active church, a church for all ages, a church where everyone is always welcome.

St. Peter's is part of the Diocese of Chester and the Church of England, and is one of the Rural Daneside Churches

Holy Week ends with the three days leading up to Easter Sunday, known as the Paschal Triduum. The first of these is Maundy Thursday, when we celebrate the last meal that Jesus ate, with his disciples. Maundy comes from the Latin word for "command," and refers to Jesus' commandment to the disciples to "Love one another as I have loved you."

You are invited to this service at St Peter's Church, Swettenham.

A group of churches, some of which are part of the Rural Daneside Benefice, will be coming together to worship on Wednesday evenings during Lent.
