We don’t have readings from the Book of Ecclesiastes very often yet I suspect that many of you here know the words of Chapter 3 by heart.  They were turned into the folk song ‘Turn Turn Turn’ by Pete Seeger in 1939 and later became a number 1 hit for the Byrds.  Felicity will be singing the song during our communion this morning.

The farmer in Jesus’ parable have you ever felt sorry for him? I mean what is a man to do? He’s worked hard, he’s been efficient, he’s had a bit of good luck, and what do you know it? This year the harvest is incredible.

We bid “Farewell”

 During August St. Peter’s bade farewell to friends from within our church family and from outside.  On the 22^nd August Dr Rob Gwynne preached at the 10.30am Family Communion and administered the chalice for the last time here at St.

Last Sunday Jane and I celebrated our 12^th Wedding anniversary. 12 very happy years – obviously. But over those 12 years we have come to realise that in one vital respect we have a profoundly different and incompatible outlook on life. I am a Pre-sorter but Jane is still – despite years of tuition from mea Post-sorter.

Alpha is a course for anyone with questions about life and faith.  Subjects such as, "is there more to life than this?" and "why did Jesus die" are presented by live speakers, and then discussed in small groups over coffee.  The next course starts on Tuesday 28th September with the Alpha Supper, an inf

The events of today’s gospel reading take place just down the shore from the fishing village of Capernaum. You can still go to Capernaum today. If we hurried and were lucky with our flights we could probably be there by the end of today or by tomorrow morning. The Capernaum Jesus knew is still there: a little fishing village on the shore of Lake Galilee with the remains of a fourth century synagogue built over the synagogue where Jesus taught.

 Those were the words of Andy Hopper and Hattie May – members of our Church family here - as they stood before the congregation in St Peter’s on July 31^st
