WORKING FOR GOD - WELCOMING ALL
Welcome to the website of St Peter's Church, in Harborne. We are part of the Church of England and worship has taken place here since Saxon times. We are an open and welcoming congregation of all ages.
We hope to welcome you to one of our services or events soon.
Revd Kate Stowe, currently Chaplain to the Bishop of Birmingham, will be our new vicar as from September. Her installation service will be held on Sunday 6 September - details to follow.

****************
The Church roof has been undergoing major repairs and is beginning to look very handsome. Here it is in progress.
However, the cost of repairs has only partially been met. £75,000 needs to be raised. Now there is an opportunity for you to donate in a very direct way by sponsoring a new slate with a gift of a minimum of £10, or as much as you wish. This can be gift aided if you are eligible, thereby adding a further 25%. Your name or names can be inscribed on the underside,
or it could be a very short dedication.
This is a very challenging time for many, but if you are able to make a donation in this way you will be investing in the long term future of the church building, the spiritual home to which the community has come in times both good and bad, for celebration, for mourning and thanksgiving. Please contact the Parish Office for information on how to sponsor your slate.

THE PARISH GIVING SCHEME
Many people give generously to support St. Peter’s through the Parish Giving Scheme, by Standing Order or by Direct Debit, all of which can be Gift-Aided. However, as there are no services taking place, it is not possible to place your offering, in whatever form, on the collection plate. If you would like to continue to give, please do deliver envelopes to the cloister parish office letter box or contact the parish office for details of how to change to one of the online methods. To join the Parish Giving scheme go to https://www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk/for-donors or phone 0333 002 1271.
Do consider this as a means of giving – those of us who use it find it very simple and straightforward. We thank you for your continued care and concern for the work of the church.
Another way to raise money for the church is through EASYFUNDRAISING. If you shop online you can easily become a supporter and every time you order on-line, a donation is automatically made to us directly from those participating retailers. Click here for more details.
