St Peter's Langton Herring

You are always welcome here, whether you are just passing through, or locally based. St Peter’s is a small Grade II listed building located in the centre of the picturesque village of Langton Herring, next to the Elm Tree Inn and the Village Hall. There is a sense of the sacred in this quiet, tranquil place for those seeking solitude, to pray, or the opportunity to simply sit quietly for a while. It is only 20 minutes on foot to the Fleet Lagoon behind Chesil Bank - a 17-mile stretch of shingle and a National Nature Reserve, itself a special unique place.

Services are held regularly and alternate each week, from more traditional 'prayer book' communion services and hymns to more informal reflective times, or family praise with worship songs and readings. Feel free to wander around our churchyard too.

A celebration of love

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
LATCH - Litton and Thorners Community Hall
Address
School Lane, Litton Cheney, DT2 9AU

Come to LaTCH on 30th March for coffee, croissants and a variety of crafty activities for families, followed by an informal service that starts at 10.30am.

We’ll have a guest speaker, Helen Horsley formerly of Homestart, and lively music led by the specially formed band!
While the 30th March is Mothering Sunday, this special service aims to recognise love in all it’s forms - whether that is the love of a mother and child, someone who takes a mothering role or remembers others with love.

Reverend Margaret will be facilitating a Lent Course starting next week.
