GROUPS AND EVENTS
Life at St Peter's isn't just about Sundays. Throughout the week and the month there are usually a variety of groups and events which fill community life and in which people both serve and learn together.
Some of these remain suspended or are happening online because of the pandemic.
Do see also the specific events and groups which address Wellbeing on the dedicated page.
Growing in faith
LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Two groups meet regularly in people's homes to help people study the Bible, pray together and learn how to live out faith in Jesus. One of these, the Growth Group, meets on a Wednesday afternoon every other week, the other meets three Thursday evenings a month.
Discussing faith
ALPHA
Alpha is for anyone who's curious. The films are designed to encourage conversation and explore the basics of the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. No question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish.
Alpha runs twice a year for seven or eight weeks in the evenings.

Supporting one another
THE ARCHES
The Arches is a peer support group for anyone who has been bereaved, whether that's very recently or some time ago. Offering friendship and the chance to talk about things with others who have been through the same experience, the Arches meets on the third Monday of each month in members' homes. Currently still suspended.
