Dear Visitors,
Our aim in creating this website has been threefold:- firstly, to publicize information about our beautiful little church:- times of worship, social events, it's history and architecture; secondly, to share with you our enjoyment of the area in which it is set; and thirdly, to provide you with some thoughtful reading for the quieter moments in your life. Although stemming from the rhythm of the church's year, these articles could well speak meaningfully to you at any time.
Above all, we hope you don't just rush through our lovingly-created pages, but enjoy spending some time with us.
Jean and Pauline

A Message to Everyone Who Lives in Clippesby
We very much regret that St. Peter's Church no longer remains open for people to visit.
Though Sunday Services and all public worship may not be taking place there are services on both television and radio that we are following and the prayer life of the church goes on. Try Radio 4 at 8 am. / BBC 1 Sunday Worship at 11.15am./ Songs of Praise at 1.15 pm.
If anyone has a need that we can help with please get in touch and we will do our best to serve you, there is a contact button on each page of this website - at the bottom of the page - don't be afraid to use it and leave us a message and we will get back to you.
May God bless you and keep you in the palm of his hand! With love from Clippesby PCC.
