St Peter's Church is a Church of England parish church in the village of Belmont on the north side of Winter Hill on the edge of the West Pennine Moors. The church was built in 1849 and consecrated on April 1st, 1850. Today, St Peter's is part of a team of six Anglican churches in four parishes serving communities in the north Bolton and Turton area. Although geographically St Peter's is in the Borough of Blackburn, for historical reasons, it is part of the Diocese of Manchester.
Emerging From Restrictions Questionnaire We are expecting a major announcement and imminent changes to the rules around covid restrictions. We know some will be pleased and some will be more nervous. The PCC will be meeting soon to discuss this and decide what we should do. We would really like to know the range of views in the congregation so the Turton Moorland Team has drawn up a questionnaire – (sorry to those who hate these sort of things!) – which is anonymous if done online, but you can give your name if you wish. It will only take a few minutes to complete. There will be paper copies in church on Sunday. You can access the questionnaire and fill it in online by clicking google forms link. We will only see the results. You can also read the questionnarie here or download a copy for printing by selecting it from the documents at the bottom of this page. If you can complete the questionnaire that would be really helpful. You can do it on paper and return it next week or during the week or you can do it online. Either way it can, if you wish, be done anonymously. As a church we want to restore what we have been missing, but to do it in a way which means people feel safe. It is a good Christian principle (from St Paul) that we should take particular note of the more vulnerable and we know the Good Shepherd has a particular concern for the lost and the injured. We want to make decisions which will mean that church continues to feel safe, even as we can hopefully do more and have more togetherness. Do ask and do let us know what you think. Please pray for us as we make these decisions and we know that whatever is decided will not be the ideal for everyone. Let’s do our best to go forward together, joyfully and carefully.
