Proud to be an eco-church
St Peter's is a vibrant, welcoming church that is NOT just for Sunday!
We consider ourselves to be a "7-day church" with lots of activities: groups, events, concerts. We are open every day.
Our worship style is a mix of traditional and modern music, energy and activity, including children's work every week.
You can be assured of a friendly and inclusive welcome in a beautiful church with gardens to wander around.

Churches Count on Nature
June is the month of Churches Count on Nature which runs from Saturday June 7th until Sunday the 15th. People are encouraged to discover the wildlife in their local churchyard and record the species found, including plants, flowers, insects, birds etc. We have recording forms available in St Peter’s but sightings can be written on any piece of paper and left in a box outside the church door or a box at the back of the main church in a basket on the table in front of our Eco Display.
Details of what you have seen can also be emailed to communitygardenbelper@gmail.com.
If you are not sure of a name please take a photo and ask by email, on Facebook www.facebook.com/StPetersCommunityGarden/ , in person or look at one of the books in our Eco Library available at the back of the church.

We will be putting up items for Woollen Woods in St Peter’s churchyard from June 14th. Everyone is very welcome to join in with the fun, to make and display. It gives a lot of pleasure to people who walk around our lovely churchyard. People and groups are very welcome to decorate a tree with their chosen theme or to make one piece which can be added along with others to a display. There will be rope around a few trees which things can be added to. The Woollen Woods will remain up until June 30th as the last weekend in June is Belper Open Gardens and the churchyard will be on the map of places for visitors to look round. Please contact Anne Clark if you would like more information 07968 443132.
We now meet as a regular group in St Peter’s West End on the first Thursday of the month from 1-3pm to prepare for Woollen Woods and everyone is welcome to come along. The next meet is June 5th. You can bring your own piece to work on or join in with something we provide.
