The Ordination of the Reverend Mark Cook
The Reverend Mark Cook was ordained Deacon on 28th June 2026 at Worcester Cathedral after completing the Diocese of Worcester Auxiliary Pathway. He will serve in the parish as an Assistant Curate.
The local band gathered for general ringing at St Matthias, and the church gathered for a fabulous celebration lunch in the Link Room. Mark’s ordination took place earlier today at Worcester Cathedral.
A Cool space at St Peters 23-25 June
St Peters turned on AC and offered some “ Cool Space” during the hot afternoons this week. This was unexpected advantage of the air source heat pump system, installed earlier this year. We can turn it into an Air Conditioning system.
We hope to do this whenever possible, if the temperature rises above 30C. Please check this website on the day for more info.
St Peter’s June 26 Tidy-up
We dodged the rain clouds and managed to trim the hedges and cut down a dead tree. Thanks to Cathedral Kitchens who take away all the cuttings. The Churchyard is maintained by volunteers, so help is always welcome. Look out for posters for the next session later in the summer. It’s surprising what an impact we can make in 2 hours, and it’s fun too.
Friends of St Peters AGM: 19th April 2026
We enjoyed celebrating all the recent improvements at St Peters with a wine and cheese party, and relaxed into the warmth of the new heating. The new refreshments counter is a great addition too.
Next event: Tidy up the churchyard session on Tuesday 10-noon , 2nd June. Bring along your gloves and tools.
