The main Sunday worship at St Peter's is our sung 9:30am Eucharist with choir and Sunday School. There is usually a monthly BCP Choral Evensong - see church notices for details. Everyone is very welcome at St Peter's Berkhamsted - we welcome families, we welcome individuals, we welcome pilgrims, we welcome anyone who doesn’t feel terribly religious, we welcome anyone who is questioning. St Peter’s welcomes YOU.
All are welcome at our 9:30 choral Sunday service. Live Stream service on our website and Facebook page

We will celebrate the Feast of All Saints' Day at our 9:30am Sung Eucharist, commemorating the Christian saints and martyrs through the ages.
"For all the saints who from their labours rest,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest!
Alleluia, Alleluia!"
Sundays Together Lunches are a friendly social group for our older friends in the parish who may be on their own at a certain age. Luncheon is laid on every 1st Sunday of every month in the Court House, and the next one is on Sunday 3 November. Guests receive a welcome drink when they arrive, followed by two-course meal, all for a handsome £6. This is a very popular event, bringing members of the church and the community together every month through the delights of food. It’s a lovely way for people to socialise and helps to combat loneliness in our community.
Please check the weekly church notices to confirm.
If you would like to take part, or if you know someone who might benefit from this lovely social event, please get in touch:

First Sunday of the month
A traditional service of choral worship led by our church choir. Services are generally once a month, although dates may vary - check the St Peter's website for details.
We gather at 6pm to remember with thanksgiving loved ones who have passed from this life. The Church Choir will sing the glorious setting of the Requiem Mass by the French composer Maruice Duruflé (1902–1986). It is our tradition at St Peter’s to read out the names of the departed during the evening service. If you would like to include the name of someone you have lost, whether recently or many years ago, please write their name on the list at the back of church. The list will be available until Thursday 30 November. You can also email the names (by Thursday 30 November at the latest please) to:
Daily Office of Morning Prayer in the Lady Chapel
Times may occasionally vary - please check the parish calendar on our website or on the church noticeboards to confirm.
Daily Office of Evening Prayer in the Lady Chapel

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

10:45 - Act of Remembrance at the Town War Memorial with 1 minute’s silence at 11am
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Experience the historic building of St Peter's Church by candlelight, where we celebrate the promise of “light in the darkness”. During the town's Festival of Light celebration, we open our doors to the public. Wander around and see the spectacle of thousands of candles in the Gothic architecture, pause for a moment of prayer or contemplation, or just wander around. Hot Glühwein will be on sale, and there may be a musical surprise from our church choir!
Entry is FREE but donations are very welcome - we're raising money to get our leaking fixed!
