Who are we?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

St Peter\u2019s is a multi-cultural, cross-generational community made up of young and not-so-young people from Edgware and beyond. We believe Jesus has blessed us as a community so we want to share that blessing with our communities through our worship, through our words and through our work in the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For us OneStonegrove is a sign of that blessing, so we\u2019re delighted to be partnering with the Stonegrove Community Trust so that our joint home helps the whole community to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been the local church for Stonegrove since the late 1950s. Even before our old church was built in 1962, Christians had been meeting here \u2013 first in their homes, then in Edgware School and then in the old Community Centre building. You can find out more about our history here: http:\/\/stpetersstonegrove.weebly.com\/history-page.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are part of Edgware Parish in the London Diocese of the Church of England This means that we are open to everyone and we welcome all who come \u2013 whether from our local community or across the world, whether officially members of a church or not.

What do we do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We meet on Sundays and at other times during the week because our faith in Jesus energises us and helps us through both good and bad times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our principle service is on Sunday and our worship is family friendly, relaxed and informal \u2013 we don\u2019t have a dress code, although the vicar sometimes wears robes on special occasions like Easter and Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It starts at 10.30 am and finishes around 12.00 and it helps us connect with God as we sing old and new songs, pray together, listen to readings from the Bible and explore how this relates to our lives today through a sermon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words for songs and prayers and often pictures for the sermon are projected on screens around the church. After the service most people stay on to talk and enjoy tea, or coffee and fellowship \u2013 sometimes with bring and share meals at special celebration services. All ages worship together at the beginning and end of our main services and children and young people leave for age appropriate groups during the sermon. On an average Sunday almost half of the worshipping community are under 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe worshipping God doesn\u2019t stop after our Sunday services, so we offer more opportunities for Christian worship in OneStonegrove throughout the week:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
