Christian faith fits? Alpha could be for you. Find out more about
Christianity or refresh your faith. - We are hoping to take a St Peter’s
Group to the joint Alpha course at St John’s, Stoke. Please let Kirsten or
Brian know if you are interested and we will make sure that an invitation with
dates gets to you as soon as we have it.
Allotment
- Just thinking about the possibility of St Peter’s taking on an allotment on
Bellfields to grow fruit and veg. so that if we can’t manage one on our own
there will be a possibility of sharing the work and sharing the produce amongst
ourselves and with the wider community. How it works needs careful thought and
commitment, so this is just a start to see if anyone would be interested in such
a scheme. Talk to Kirsten or Brian or Pauline.

brunch together on Boxing Day, a Sunday, how many people would be interested in

Men's Group Barbecue
This event was attended by over 30 men who were challenged by Kirsten to consider the prophet Micah's words that God requires us "to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God". Kirsten asked us to consider how we do this in our work places, in our homes and relationships with each other: justice, mercy and humble service in step with God. The next meeting of the Men's Group is on Monday 13th September in the Corporation Club, Slyfield Green, at 8pm.

Renee Aitken
The service for Renee will be on Wednesday 28th July at 12
noon in St Peter's Church. Please pray for the family and friends of Renee
who have been shocked at her sudden deterioration in health and now
saddened by her death. For many years Renee has been worshipping at the
Church in Jacobs Well and quietly offering herself in God's service. Renee
had a love of flowers and used to provide flower arrangements for the
worship at Jacobs Well. The flowers are given away each week so her gift
went into many homes to bring blessing to people in need. Another of
Renee's gifts, appreciated especially by those of us in leadership, was
encouragement. We shall miss Renee, but rejoice that for her heaven is her
home.

You probably realised, the Arrows and Frys were so surprised last Sunday with being given a gift that we were lost for words! We just want to thank you so much for your generous gift - but above all for the privilege we have felt in serving with you during 'the vacancy' in particular: the co-operation and support we have always felt from you all. What a lot we have to thank God for in being part of such a church family, where we all try and use the gifts and talents God has given us for His glory. We have decided to go out together to spend our 'Ambassadors' vouchers. One of the bonuses of having worked so closely together this year has been getting to know one another better and grow in respect for what each offers. It will be an interesting exercise to see what play or film we can agree that we will all enjoy! So - do ask us! You will also know how delighted we were that Kirsten accepted the invitation to be our Vicar - and are confident that she is God's choice to lead us forward. We look forward to working with her and for us all to grow together in love and service of one another and our community. May we continue to experience God's blessing - individually, and as a church.
