This is the September 2026 newsletter for St Peter's Church in Alton and St Leonard's Church in Bradley le Moors. It is intended for parishioners and members of the local community. The newsletter provides information on upcoming events, services, and community activities for the month.
The newsletter opens with a calendar of events in the parish, including PCC meetings, Open the Book sessions, Crafty Cuppa Cafe, Coffee Morning, Life Worth Living gatherings, and bellringing practice. It notes that the Soiree has been postponed.
A full service schedule is provided for the Weaver Group of Churches, covering Alton, Bradley, Ellastone, Stanton, and Mayfield for each Sunday in September and the first Sunday of October. Services include Morning Prayer, Holy Communion, Evening Prayer, Evensong, and Harvest services.
A reflection titled 'Finding your rhythm' discusses the transition from holiday to routine, drawing on Matthew 11:28-30. It encourages readers to let God shape their daily rhythm rather than letting busyness set the pace.
News from St Peter's Academy covers the summer term show about mermaids and pirates, the leaving service for seven pupils moving on, and thanks for donations totalling 660 pounds. Details are given for the Crafty Cuppa Cafe on alternate Tuesdays and the Coffee Morning on 12th September with a breakfast menu.
The newsletter introduces the Alton Tapestry project, a community initiative to create a tapestry in the Bayeux narrative style celebrating the village's heritage. It also includes a who's who section with contact details for clergy, churchwardens, organists, the ringing master, treasurer, and school executive head, plus information on easyfundraising donations.
