On this special Sunday when we remember those who have served in the 1st and 2nd World Wars and other wars we read out the names of those who lost their lives in those wars who had lived in this part of Peterborough. Come along to our 10.30am Remembrance Eucharist on this special day.
We plan to dedicate the restoration Plaque with the names of the men who lost their lives in the 1st World War on it who had lived in the New England area and had been on the original plaque on the St Paul's War Memorial until the weather gradually eroded their names totally off. Some men who had not been included in the original plaque have now been added although we have them in the St Paul's Memorial Book.
As usual we will be remembering those who have lost their lives in the 2 World Wars and other wars as we gather around the War Memorial in St Paul's Churchyard on the Lincoln Rd side. Come for 10.50am.
All are welcome.
ALL WELCOME to the 2.30pm Service on Sat 28 Nov in St Paul's . It is a short service ideal for those who have or still are suffering bereavement and grief. It is called A TIME TO REMEMBER, A TIME TO GIVE THANKS.
A short time of prayer and reflection, with some music. Opportunity to light a candle in memory of those you are remembering.
Light refreshments afterwards. Invite anyone you know who might find this a source of comfort and help at a difficult time.

At our Sunday Eucharist today we welcome Archdeacon Alison who will be our speaker and also Celebrant, alongside Rev Ron.
This is the first time The Archdeacon has been our speaker and we look forward to worshipping with her and hope you can come along too.
We look forward to welcoming Archdeacon Alison to St Paul's this Sunday as it is the first time she is taking part in one of our services and she will be sharing a Reflection for us.
Do come along and meet her. Once Rev Ron and Val have retired (planned for April 4th 2027) she along with the Rural Dean will have responsibility to arrange help to take services and look after St Paul's until a new person is appointed - which can be quite a while!
A ONE OFF SPECIAL....CHRISTMAS T@4 with CHRISTINGLE on Sunday 20 December at 4pm in St Paul's.
A little bit of craft as we make Christingles, as we hear the Christmas Story, sing a carol or two, bubble prayers and, of course, sing 'HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS', FOLLOWED BY SOME REFRESHMENTS.
ALL AGES WELCOME....

For Rev Ron and Val this will be their last Christmas at St Paul's as they retire later in 2027 after being here since Nov 2007.
The 11pm Christmas Eve Service is always a very special service and Eucharist and we do hope that you are able to come along to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ alongside others who come to share the celebration.
