We are updating all our contacts.

Giving to your church
You can make a gift to the church through online living and text giving. If you would like to make a regular gift, please consider our Parish Giving Scheme which enables you to give each month by Direct Debit.
Parish Giving Scheme
The Parish Giving Scheme is a secure, confidential system which also automatically collects Gift Aid and pays your gift direct to the church, reducing administration and without any fees to you or St Peter’s. You are always in charge, and can stop your gift at any time without having to tell the church.
Give online
You can use your debit or credit card to give a gift simply, quickly and securely.

Sing Joyfully to the Lord
Sing Joyfully to the Lord, you righteous
It is fitting for the upright to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp,
Make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
Sing to him a new song,
Play skillfully and shout for joy.
Psalm 33

Let's Keep Praying
These are indeed testing times for all of us.
As Christians we hope and pray that our response will be of service to our community, but we MUST keep praying.
We hope to offer three routes:
Worship and Prayer
facebook.com/stpetershighfields – where we will stream services and prayers, similar to those we would normally gather together for.
You can also find our prayers and worship on YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn09A0-HFos_qYEGQMP7HWQ
Virtual Coffee and Chats
We are still experimenting with this, which we will do via Zoom video conferencing and phone calls.
Private Prayer
We have produced a booklet Praying Today which we will happily send out to you, or you can download it. Please note, things are changing quickly, and we will update our Facebook page first.
It contains ideas for prayer plus the liturgy we follow for morning and evening prayer.
Dads and Kids Breakfast
Give Mum the morning off with our special event aimed at Dads* and kids.
Sorry, this event is no longer happening.
Check Hall Availability OnLine
You can now check whether the New Hall or the Old Hall is available on our web site.
Simply go to www.stpetershighfields.co.uk/halls for a full calendar.
We will also update prices and booking terms and conditions on line.
You will then be able to phone and provisionally book.
Payment can be made in cash or debit card (in person or over the phone).
Slowly revealed…
The scaffolding is, at last, slowly being removed from the tower and revealing some of the work ..
There is still some work to do. The turret, which sits on top of the spiral staircase, is all being replaced. Each stone is cut individually to form a beautiful waterproof top.
The new stone will quickly weather, but is crisp and clear compared to the old stone – which has been in place for almost 150 years. However, all the stone has been worked by qualified stone masons in the same way.
And where the scaffolding had been removed we can see the stone all safe and secured
This work has been funded through the hard work of the congregation, the generosity of the communities we serve and through support from Heritage Lottery and Leicester Diocese.
The clock returns!
This week (week starting 19 March 2018) the clock returned – or rather, the completely refurbished clock faces returned. They look fantastic and they have been hoisted up ready to be fixed into place over the next few days.
We hope and intend to get the clock working again, but the mechanism does need some tender love and care. Unfortunately, the pigeons had made their home in and around the mechanism, and they were not the tidiest of guests. But nevertheless, the clock faces and hands will look resplendent, and the clock mechanism will be coaxed back to life ready to tell the time to Highfields once again.
The photo’s show the last of the clock faces being taken off the lorry and raised up ready to be fixed into place.
