St Peter’s Servery-Good News

Peter Massey — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:02:52 +0000

Great news, the total donated towards the St Peter’s Servery is now an amazing £21,110, reports SPSJ Treasurer Andy Butterfill. With income tax reclaimed under Gift Aid we should get another £3,600 so we are there! Well done and thank you to all who contributed.

Please continue with those fund-raising events (see February’s Update), the money raised could go towards the purchase of chairs. We have £10,000 pledged already for chairs, and we are aiming for a further £15-20,000. The more we get the more of us can sit down!

Praying with and for the Core Team

Peter Massey — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 15:59:56 +0000

The Core Team meets on the first Tuesday of each month (except August ), and recently they have been feeling the importance of spending more time in prayer as part of their service to the church. And then it occurred to them – why not invite others to join? So starting on 7th Feb 2012 our new pattern will be: 7.30pm Coffee etc and prayer – all welcome. 8.00-10.00pm Core Team meeting.

Do pray for the team and please do join them if you wish.

Re-ordering Green Light

Peter Massey — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:21:38 +0000

At a specially convened meeting of the SPSJ Parochial Church Council, held on Tuesday 2nd August 2011, final approval was given for the re-ordering of St Peters Church to commence as soon as possible. The Architect was advised that our budget figure is a maximum of £450,000.

All the pews from the Church have been removed and the building is now ready for one of the largest re-ordering projects for many years in its almost 1000 years of history. Jonathan Coore continues as project manger and we are grateful for all the time and care he has given to the project so far”

Chr1st

Peter Massey — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 14:00:55 +0000

“Is Christ first in your life? Why not wear a Chr1st badge to encourage yourself and challenge others to do the same?” asks Tim Jones of SPSJ. Wear it, declare it (1 Chr 16:24), share it (Matt 28:19-20)!

Tim has co-ordinated the production of small badges showing that the wearer puts Christ first and challenges the wearer to:

ensure you behave as Christ would wish;
declare openly their allegiance to Christ and stand together with other Christians;
show non-Christians that we are ‘open for business’ and are willing to answer questions, share their pain and, maybe, pray with them.

Much more about Chr1st and how badges can be obtained can be found at the Chr1st website.
