The Ruddington family Christmas tradition - the first St Peter's Christingle Service
The second of our lovely family-friendly Christingle services.
A traditional service as Christmas Day begins
Our family-friendly, welcoming Christmas morning service
We usually livestream our Sunday morning service from 10.30 am. You can find the livestream on our Facebook page and Youtube.
Our weekly Sunday service of worship is a time of coming together in a 'half time team talk' to equip and sustain us to take the love of Jesus out into our community and beyond.
We have a lively worship band, as well as an excellent organ, practical and relevant teaching from a variety of voices and prayer, all underpinned by seeking to come closer to God as He comes close to us through our worship and culminating in sharing the family meal in Holy Communion.
All are welcome and will be welcomed; young, old, new to faith, not sure, been away a while, been away a long while or here every week. Or just come and join us for fresh coffee and cake after the service and see what it might be like to come to church on a Sunday.
You are so welcome to bring your little ones to Little P's, a much loved church group running for over 30 years, now run by Lynn and her team of amazing volunteers.
Our sessions run every Monday during term time, from 9am to 10.45 pm- just come along and you can sign in on the day.
The first hour is open for free play in our amazing play area, full of a huge variety of different toys, where carers and parents can chat and enjoy a cup of good coffee whilst the children play to their hearts content. From 10am to 10.45am, we all join together with a mixture of nursery rhymes and Christian songs, with actions to boot! We have a bible story, wonderfully read by 'Aunty Pat', and a craft related to the story. All topped off with more songs, finishing of course with the Grand Old Duke of York.
Our most family friendly service, held on the first Sunday of the month.
We start with breakfast together of pastries and tea or freshly ground coffee, often with a themed service based on current issues we all face and social action we can all support, such as fostering, the environment, debt advice and youth homelessness, or exploring our faith in our daily lives.
Our time together is held in exploring what we believe is God's heart for these issues and the wider world, through art, craft, reflective activities, prayer, discussion and worship, in a relaxed informal atmosphere together around tables.
Why not come and explore God's heart for the world with us as a family?
Making space in busy, uncertain and noisy lives is essential if we are to notice not only what's going on in our inner selves but also notice and encounter God's presence with us through this.
Our monthly evening service makes space for God in reflective words, music, and times of stillness and quiet, often exploring the spirituality and wisdom of Christians through the ages who sought to meet with God in quietness and trust.
A wonderfully refreshing time of worship and prayer, with a short communion utilising the breadth of spirituality from across the Christian tradition.
