Tomorrow, Monday, we will be welcoming
Chris Bennett a Church Bell Ringer who used to be in the Church Choir and where learnt to ring the Bells. Please read on :

Listen for the Bells on the afternoon of
Monday 2nd February 2026. Chris Bennett,
rang his first peal at St Peter’s on 2nd
February 1976, he had been a member of the
church choir and had learned to ring bells at St
Peter& #39;s in 1969, the family then moved to
Yorkshire in 1974. Chris continued to ring as a
student in Sheffield, and returned to Bickenhill
to ring his first full peal in 1976, to mark the
opening of the National Exhibition Centre by
HM Queen Elizabeth, Chris did ring further
peals at Bickenhill in July 1979 and March
1986, the latter being for the retirement of the
longstanding vicar, Rev. Stanley Owen, who
he had known since early childhood. Chris has
continued his life long interest in bell ringing
and towers, and is now the advisor on bells to
the DAC of the Sheffield Diocese, it is with
great pleasure we welcome him back for his
50th anniversary peal. Chris has invited guest
ringers to join him to complete this challenge.
The church will be open from1.30pm for the
peal to start at 2.00pm. We believe a full
peal takes about 3 hours. If you are free
please do come along to listen. There will be
light refreshments available.

We have pleasure in Welcoming Mary Charlton to our Sunday Service this week 18th January. She will be preaching on :-
Unity in the Body of Christ.

4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

In this troubled world we pray for peace and understanding across the world.
Amen.
