Another Big Thank You to all those who attended our Christmas Carol Service on 14th December, with a congregation of 50 joining us for the Nativity story, readings and a delve into the history and meaning of some of our best-known Carols. It was a truly joyous occasion, followed by scrumptious festive treats, courtesy of Sue and Sophie, so A big thank you to them, as always, for supporting the church’s endeavors.
A Christmas day service at Gayton, our first for many years, for all the Mid-Trent team of Churches was also well attended. We decided to use the offering gifts -almost £200.00 as a donation to the charity Water Aid, to help provide people in many places over our world with clean water, our most basic of human needs.
Thank you again!

It’s February and the New Year is ahead of us at St Peter's Church. With December and Christmas seeming a lifetime away I just want to say A Big Thank You to Naomi and her daughter Thailya for the lovely floral and festive greenery displays that decorated the church for the Christmas Carol Service and our Christmas Day Team Celebration. We were surprised
and touched by their offer to decorate, giving freely of their time and materials, it was very much appreciated. We received
many complimentary comments from visitors to the church over the Christmas period.

We try to make our church services as friendly as possible. Please don’t worry about getting things ‘wrong’. Even if they notice, people won’t mind. At Communion services, everyone is equally welcome, whether you feel able to share the bread and wine or prefer just to stay seated for a time of quiet. Finally, we are interested in you, not what you are wearing - but note that in the winter it can be difficult to heat our church so you may need to wrap up warm!

Our PRAISE TOGETHER service on 8th February is at St. James the Great Church, Salt, and not at St. Peter's Church, Hixon, as shown in Compass.
Please accept our apologies for any confusion caused.
PLEASE JOIN US FOR WHAT IS GUARANTEED TO BE A GREAT SERVICE WHERE ALL OUR CHURCHES COME TOGETHER
