With the Light Trail just around the corner, thank you to everyone who has contributed sweets, chocolates, and their time. Your generosity is helping bring this event to life. Now let's pray for good weather and for a wonderful evening filled with fellowship, fun, and the light of Christ shining brightly in our community.

Some of us ladies had a great time again last weekend at the Orchard Women's Conference led by Rachel and Amy Hughes. We have already booked for next year and would love other ladies to join us. It is a truly uplifting time of sung worship and relevant talks. We will be going to Brighton next year and there will be a youth stream for 11-18 year old girls too. If you book by FRIDAY 23rd October you get a heavily reduced ticket price! Book tickets here

Please let Helen S know when you have booked on and we will coordinate travel in a whatsapp group nearer the time. 

Be part of the journey, register your prayer meeting, and help us reach 300! Together we can see prayer flourish across our communities and look expectantly to all God has in store.

Start small, start simple, start today.

The Funeral/Thanksgiving service for the life of Ruth Wade will be held at St Peter's Church on 23rd October at 11.00am, with refreshments afterwards in the Parish Centre - the dress code is 'not sombre'. 

Please keep Ruth's family and friends in your prayers at this difficult time, asking that they may know God's comfort, peace and strength in the days ahead.

"The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18)

If you have been bereaved, we warmly invite you to our annual Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving. This gentle service offers an opportunity to remember loved ones, give thanks for their lives, and find comfort in God's presence, alongside family and friends. Names of those who have died will be read during the service, and refreshments will be available afterwards, with clergy on hand to talk and pray with anyone who would find that helpful. All are very welcome. 🙏🕯️💛

Flyers are available in church with a slip to complete if you'd like a loved one's name read during the service or to let us know you're coming. Alternatively, email admin@stpetersfarnborough.org.uk.
