Local Church
Introduction
Just across the road and down the hill from the school we find our church - St Peter's Weston Favell situated in the heart of Weston Favell village but also serving the communities of Westone, Headlands and Abington Vale.
The Rector, Canon Beverley Hollins writes:
The relationship between the church and the school is one that we treasure.
We all have hopes and dreams for the future, it is human to look forward and wonder what the years ahead might hold. At St Peter's we are committed to helping children prepare for that future, whatever it might bring. Children were very important to Jesus, he saw in them something very special. We seek to take children seriously by giving them the opportunity to have fun together and to enjoy teaching appropriate for their age.
We are committed to welcoming children and their families to learn and worship together with other members of our community.
Regular services
We have a range of services throughout the week but perhaps the most attractive one for families would be the 4 ’clock service on Sundays. Starting with refreshments it has informal worship including separate primary school age activities and first and third Sundays. Second Sunday includes an informal Holy Communion, and fourth Sunday is Wild Worship, often outside.
Other services include:
Weekdays
Morning prayer on Facebook most weekdays and in church on Mondays
Holy Communion 10am Wednesdays
Sundays
8am Holy Communion a formal said service
10am Choral Communion (also available on YouTube, live streamed and recorded)
6pm look out for occasional special services
