Community Life
Pastoral Care
Leader: Rev Wendy Bull
The Pastoral Care Team aim to give additional support to those in times of need, through visiting, prayer, home communion and practical help in the form of meals, lifts etc. We have different people within our church who are particularly gifted or trained in coming alongside the bereaved, those with marriage difficulties, and other areas. Please contact us if you need such support.
Should you be going through a difficult time and would like to speak to a member of the Pastoral Team please contact Wendy and she will put you in touch with one of the team to support you.
Weekly Activities
Renew @ St Peter's Monday 1.30-3.30pm
Join us at St Peter's every Monday 1.30-3.30pm (excluding bank holidays) to attend to your wellbeing, by spending time in friendly company with shared activities, a cup of tea and a biscuit. Whether you are keen on jigsaws, in need of some quiet mindful colouring, fancy a game of Scrabble or chess, or wish to bring along your own hobby, all are welcome. We end with a short moment of peaceful meditation to prepare ourselves for the week ahead.

WOW - every Wednesday 11.00am at St. Peter's
WOW – Wycombe Older Wellbeing, is part of St Peter’s Church outreach into our community. The weekly exercise classes (Zumba and Keep-fit on alternate weeks) are aimed at the more mature person and cater for all abilities. Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies, do what they can at their own pace, and to enjoy the singing, laughter and good natured banter which accompanies the exercises.
Following the session it’s time to sit and relax together over a healthy lunch. We meet at 10.30am for 11.00 start on Wednesday mornings at St Peter’s.
Mums and Toddlers -Wednesdays in Term Time 9.30am at St. Anne's

Other Activities
The Kiosk
St. Peter's Kiosk
Thursdays in term time students from our local college learn marketing skills by setting up a kiosk to sell Christian gifts and Christmas gifts. There is tea and coffee on offer too. Come and support the students, and the St. Peter's building project too!
Grave Talk
From time to time we arrange evenings hosted in church or elsewhere to give an opportunity to get together over a cup of coffee or tea and some cake and to talk about that most taboo of subjects... Death.
We would all rather think about life and how to live it, but sometimes it is important that we consider how to approach well the end of life . This Thursday will be a great opportunity to talk about what we think happens at the end of life, to discover together, from each other's experience, how to manage some practical aspects of preparing for the end, and to listen to each other as we tackle the big questions we have around the subject.
The format of the evening is informal. There is no presentation and no expectation that you will take part - just come and enjoy the company, we would love to see you and anyone you would like to invite.
