GROWING IN LOVE - DEEPENING FAITH
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.

We are very happy to announce that the Revd Kate Stowe, currently Chaplain to the Bishop of Birmingham, will be our new vicar as from September (TBC).

The Parish Giving Scheme

Many people give generously to support St. Peter’s through the Parish Giving Scheme, by Standing Order or a regular online payment, 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.

The Parish Giving Scheme is a very easy way of giving by Direct Debit, managed by the PGS organization, and any Gift Aid is returned to the church on a monthly basis. It is now possible to join this scheme by phone as well as by the standard paper application and instructions for both methods can be found by visiting their website at https://www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk/for-donors/ 

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.

A Prayer in time of Coronavirus
Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy
in this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support
the anxious and fearful, and lift up all who are brought low;
that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that
nothing can separate us from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Amen.
