News from St. Peter’s Church

After a very busy 2023 with the completion of the NLHF project and the installation of our Collins Pipe Organ, we have taken a bit of a breather.

We are so grateful to everyone involved, from those who actually did the work to those who agreed grants for us and those who gave donations and/or attended our events. Also of course to those who gave so much of their time to make it all happen.

 We had Daffodil Day on 6th  April, which was very well attended and people were very generous. A nice steady flow of folk came along to have a chat and enjoy the delicious home-made refreshments and to see the church and of course the daffodils. Luckily the daffs on the green outside the church were still looking good, but many had gone over as Spring started a little early again this year.

Thank you to our generous band of cake-makers and to all who came to see us.

 Our first Church Tour of the season was on 23rd March and was booked by a Norfolk Wildlife Trust Volunteer who then lead those that wished, round Sally’s Walk. This again was very successful and we are again very grateful to all those who helped on the day and baked the goodies. There were many compliments about the tour leader, our local historian too.

There is another tour booked by a Group, but we should like to do a third tour around May/June time.  If you are interested, you don’t need to be a Group, individuals can apply at history@stpeterschurch-merton.org.uk.

We are also planning an Organ Recital by Julian Haggett in September, date to be confirmed.
