Morning Sermon series

Our new morning Sermon Series starts after Easter and runs from  7 Apr to 2 June 2024. It’s called “The Mission of My Church” and follows on from our previous series where we looked at all that Jesus began to do and teach (in the gospel of Luke).

We now turn to the book of Acts which reveals that Jesus wasn’t finished doing and teaching even after His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The message is, “We can’t separate what Jesus has done for his Church from what he wants to do through his Church.”

We have learnt that Jesus’ Church is Jesus’ family on Jesus’ mission. Being a part of Jesus’ family requires participating in Jesus’ mission. We can’t be a part of Jesus’ family and ignore His mission.

The 10.30am service from St. Peter’s will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.

OASIS is our midweek service – a time of fellowship and friendship at St Peter’s!
Refreshments are served in the church lounge from 10.30am and at 11.30am there is  a 30 minute service in church for those who would like to attend.
Do come and join us – everyone is very welcome for part or all of the time.

Evening Service sermon series

Our parish-wide evening services at St. Peter’s Church continue the theme of Common Ground which we started at the beginning of this year.

The aim of the Common Ground series is to get back to basics on what we believe and it will take us through some of the common ground of our basic doctrinal beliefs of Christianity.

The reading and talk from our evening services listen are available to watch on our YouTube channel.
