St Peter in the Forest

St Peter in the Forest St Peter-in-the-Forest is the parish church for the north-eastern corner of Walthamstow, London E17 We sometime hold our worship times outside in the forest.

St Peter's is a church family, worshipping God and growing together in faith and love. The congregation and preaching team consist women and men representing an eclectic mix of church traditions, ages and ethnicities. We have a good musical set-up, with organ, choir and orchestra. Children are an active part of the worshipping life and are very welcome at St Peter's. As a church we try to serve ou

r wider community, not least through the provision of our community centre, Peterhouse. We invite you to come and find a warm welcome at St Peter's-in-the-Forest. St Peter's church building is in a lovely, early-Victorian Italianate-style, and is set in a slither of Epping Forest but otherwise in the heart of Walthamstow, London E17. It was awarded a Grade II listing in April 2009. Fire damage to the building in the 1970s led to extensive re-ordering and the inside is now a very light and open space with some delightful works of art from 1840 to the present day.

Forest Rocks is back this Sunday! Bring along your school backpack or your library bag, and we'll saw a wood cookie bag tag to tie on with a blessing for the year ahead.

It's looking like the weather will be safe again for a small controlled fire in our fixed fire pit, so hoping hard we can cook a snack đŸ˜‹

See you at 10am in church!
