HOME WORSHIP: Services, Sermons, Prayers and Plays

St. Peter’s will follow Government and Church of England guidelines at all times, adjusting for local circumstances. Currently these are as follows:

  1. All Church buildings, including the Leverton Hall, are closed until Sunday 16th August 2020 when the Church will open for Services only.
  2. The Church continues to support the Wrecclesham community. via online services, social media and telephone. Services will be carried out from our homes (usually the vicarage). Nothing will be done from the church buildings.

The following links are to Churches (including St. Peter’s) which stream their Services:

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO THE SUNDAY SERMON BUT DOESN’T HAVE A COMPUTER? THEY CAN NOW LISTEN TO THE PREVIOUS SUNDAY’S SERMON BY DIALING 01252 978369. A computer generated American female voice will confirm that they are in the right place and ask them to wait for the sermon to start (which will be preceded by the readings). It will cost them nothing if they phone during their free minutes  time. It will (I hope) be updated each Sunday before midnight.
