Fasts, Feasts and Festivals
We have a number of special services throughout the year to mark various important dates in the church's calendar. These include Christmas services, such as Nine Lessons and Carols, a Crib Service and a Midnight Eucharist.
Special Festal services are held on a number of feast days during the year, and we have an annual celebratory service of Evensong on the Sunday nearest to the feast day of our Patron, St Peter (29th June). On some occasions, we join special services held at other churches within the Chipping Barnet Team Ministry.
We commence Lent with Holy Communion and the Imposition of Ashes on Ash Wednesday. In recent years a Lent Study group has met weekly.
Holy Week and Easter are in their turn marked with a variety of services, reflecting the themes and nature of the different events commemorated at this holy time. These have included a "walk of witness" on Good Friday for which we join other local churches.
In recent years, we have combined Harvest Thanksgiving in October with an Animal Blessing. On Remembrance Day in November wreaths are placed on the village war memorial, opposite the church. Other special occasions have included a service in June 2016 to mark the 90th birthday of HM the Queen.
In months with a fifth Sunday, we have a mid-morning service of Sung Mattins.
DAILY PRAYERS
An essential part of life for all Christians is prayer. This may be private or public, alone or corporately, formally or informally. What matters is that, above all, we draw ourselves closer to God through this important discipline.
Part of the Church's life has always been a round of daily services. In The Church of England we traditonally say the Offices of Morning Prayer (or Mattins) and Evening Prayer (or Evensong). If you would like to say these services yourselves you can find them either in a traditional form in the Book of Common Prayer or, in a modern form, in Common Worship. The services are available daily at:
http://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/join-us-in-daily-prayer.aspx
This can be accessed from any computer or 'phone with an internet conection and will provide you with a whole service for any morning or evening, every day of the year.
There is also a 15 minute Daily Service at 9.45am on BBC Radio Four (long wave only).
We invite you, as you pray to God, to pray for the work and ministry of St Peter's Church.
