The Benefice of St Peter and St Philip, Leicester

Our Harvest Services were tremendously well supported. Thankyou. We donated food to The Bridge, St Peter's Bereavement Service and will make a donation of £927 to support the work of Charity Link.

Our latest addition to help the local community. Fitted with support from Joe Humphries Memorial Trust, the Heartshield project, and our new friend Shabir Ibrahim.

We are really looking forward to the Autumn Fair at St Peter's on Saturday 11 October, from 12 noon.

Empowering Her. Friday 6pm at St Peter's. Everyone welcome.

Just because the Sunday holidays are almost over does not mean there is nothing to look forward to. Our autumn activities include an Autumn Fayre, The Beatles Mass and Parish Pizza, Thank you for the memory, and this, Family Fun Day on Saturday 13th September.

Last week we went to Skegness. Tonight (Friday) is Quiz Night in church (St Peter's), from 7pm.

St Peters continues to strengthen ties with the local community at our ladies Bortha Party. Thanks to sorry during Severn Trent and Near Neighbours. #severntrentinthecommunity #nearneighbours

A lovely trip this afternoon to the University of Leicester Botanical Gardens and the Artists in the Park.

Our new church wardens... "A worry of wardens".

On 1st January 1996 the people of St Philips woke to find the church had been devastated by a massive fire. It took about four years to rebuild the church and this Sunday, 11th May, we celebrate 25 years of being back in the church. Join us at 11am to be part of that celebration.

We loved Zoe's dismissal following Sunday worship at St Peter's this morning. What has made you smile today?

Alleluia, He is risen.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)

Lovely to be part of the walk of witness today

Amongst all the drama of the Easter story, I often forget about all the mundane things that would have carried on, like as Jesus was arrested the room where the last supper was held would have been cleaned up. Today, between the Walk of Witness and vigil, we washed the towels from Maundy Thursday.

Lovely Palm Sunday procession between our two churches. Have a blessed holy week.

There is a lovely buzz as people visit the stalls in our first Health and Wellbeing day. We are open today until 2pm and then again on Saturday, 12 noon to 6pm. #STCommunityFund #ComminutyWellbeingChampions Live Well Leicester

Tonight (Saturday) there is the Leicester Sinfonia concert at St Philips. The performance starts at 7pm.

Was lovely to have you all together.

We had a lovely evening with our neighbours as we hosted a community meal and Iftar in St Peter's Hall. Thank you to everyone who came, and those in who helped with the cooking.

Lovely to see Cathryn at Christ Church, Clarendon Park for an early International Women's Day event organised by The St Philips Centre.
