2024 PLANS

Our church building is in need of some careful refurbishment and modernisation, and could be used much more by our local community. So, we would like to transform St Peter’s into a community hub with an emphasis on cultural events, as our aesthetic appeal and resounding acoustics are exceptional. To help fund our exciting plans, we need to sell our church centre on the corner of Chapel Road and Church Road. The planned closure of the centre is 31st March 2024, Easter Sunday, which is very poignant as our vision is to resurrect St Peter's as the cornerstone of our local community... the heart of Ashley Cross. We already have lots of ideas to enhance St Peter’s but would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions, so please get in touch and introduce yourself. We are looking for people with various skills and expertise to help and be part of this adventure… restoring a vibrant space rooted in faith, community and culture.

St Peter's, Parkstone was beloved by Lord Baden Powell, founder of the global Scouts movement, with his marriage and baptisms of his children taking place in the church. Please do also take the time to visit our sister church, St Mary's on Brownsea Island, which is open most days during the summer season. We offer a simple service at 3pm every Sunday from April - October.

🇨🇦After a busy run of baptisms, weddings, assemblies, concerts and enough cups of church coffee to power a small province, I am officially done… for now. ☕️😅

Tomorrow, Canada calls 🇨🇦✈️ — swapping St Peter’s for moose spotting, breathtaking lakes, and finding out whether every Canadian is legally required to own at least one checked shirt. 🫎🏞️😂

Louis was excellent company to finish the week, although judging by this photo, one of us looks considerably more relaxed than the other.. 👶😴

See y’all in a few weeks… take off, eh! 🇨🇦🍁👋

A huge welcome to Louis, who was baptised today and officially became the most popular person in church for at least an hour. 😊

Surrounded by family, friends, prayers, and plenty of smiles, it was a joy to celebrate this special milestone together. 🥰🕊️👼🏼

⛏️🌟 Turns out Minecraft isn’t just about building blocks… it’s about building church too! 🌟⛏️

What a morning! The church was absolutely packed for our Minecraft-themed Breakfast Worship. 🟩🟫🎮

There were creepers (thankfully only cardboard ones), plenty of crafting, lots of laughter, mountains of muffins, and a reminder that, just like in Minecraft, we’re stronger when we build together. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us — regulars, newcomers, families, children, grandparents, and a few expert builders who definitely knew more about Minecraft than the vicar! 😅

Missed out this time? Don’t worry, you haven’t been banished to Survival Mode…

📅 Breakfast Worship returns on the FIRST SUNDAY of every month at St Peter’s, Ashley Cross.

Casper’s christening today. Holy Angels needed a priest, so Rev Mike answered the call like a slightly ageing substitute coming on in the 89th minute. Fortunately, Casper stole the show. 👶✝️⚽️
