DISCIPLESHIP EXPLORED: ALL VOLUNTEERS
What: General volunteering
When: As often you are able
Why: To support the running of the church
General volunteering encompasses: helping in the Coffee Shop, either by serving or by making cakes; church cleaning; fundraising; helping at events; or by serving refreshments after the service or at special events. There are so many different ways you can help your church, using as much or as little time as you have available, both on an ad hoc basis, or regularly. The vibrant and inclusive life of this church depends on the generosity and support of all its congregants.
1 Corinthians 12.4-7, 12: “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.”
These weekly notices have hopefully given you all pause for thought about your own discipleship.
If you think you could offer your time in any way for anything you’ve seen, please consider doing this. Our church cannot survive without its volunteers, and the more people we have volunteering, the less often you may find you are called upon to help.
Do have a chat with me if this is something you would like to do. Every blessing, Revd Lizzie
OUR VISION & PRIORITIES
NEW VISION PLAN LAUNCHED
For the past year the PCC has been developing the new vision plan for St Peter's in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This was launched on St Peter's Day, 27th June 2021, and reflects the changes that St Peter's has made in response to a new way of worship.
Click on the images below to read all about our Vision and Priorities for the next couple of years and how we hope to serve the individuals, families and communities of Filton.
If you would like to help in any way please be in touch.
WHO WE ARE
A welcoming Anglican Church with its heart in the sacraments and its place at the centre of the community
St Peter's Church is a church devoted to developing a holy consciousness. We believe that worship is something that can be expressed in everything we do, whether that be nourishing our bodies with food, chatting with friends, playing music, or enjoying nature. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the Holy Scriptures and Sacraments; life’s only guidebook. Whatever your age, gender, race or ability, there is a special place for you at our Church. We offer members a chance to become part of something greater, to grow their love for God and for one another in our beautiful community. Get in touch today or swing by for a visit.
