Gentle Afternoon Christmas Carols

for 1 hour
St Peter's Littleover & Blagreaves
Church Street Littleover Derby, DE23 6GF, United Kingdom
A short carol service offering space for worship, singing and prayers for those living with memory loss and those who care for them. Confusion can be very isolating as behaviour changes and once familiar activities become overwhelming.
We aim to offer a more gentle service by keeping the service short – about 20 minutes – including familiar carols and prayers in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. For some people with memory loss, their muscle memory for singing can be good (they remember words and tunes more easily) and so we hope these services can bring comfort and encouragement for them and for those who support them.

St Andrew's Community Hub

On 1 January 2023 the Parishes of Littleover, St. Peter and Blagreaves, St. Andrew were merged to form a new Parish of Littleover and Blagreaves. There were also some boundary changes with the Parish of Normanton, St. Giles.

The St. Andrew’s Church building is no longer a Church and is now St. Andrew's Community Hub, although remaining owned by the Church.

Further information can be found in the news articles on this website or on the website for the new Parish at https://www.stpeterlittleover.org.uk/

Everyone is welcome to our services and events.

All regular services are now being held in St. Peter’s Church, Littleover, which is the Parish Church for the new Parish.

Sunday services are being held at 10am in St. Peter’s Church and also livestreamed. Holy Communion services are also being held at 10.30am on Wednesdays in St. Peter’s Church. See the Services and events section of this website for full details, including how to join the livestreamed services. Any additional or special services and events will also be detailed in the Services and events section of this website
