THE congregation of St Peter's Church in Redcar is being invited to a special get-together.

Rev Stephen Fisher says many people worship at the church but at different times and on different days.

"We seldom have a chance to meet all together and get to know one another," he said.

In an attempt to change this, a special church gathering is being held on Sunday, October 22, from 11.30am until 3pm for members of the congregation to socialise.

Rev Fisher said: "The purpose is to talk together about our church - our hopes and fears and joys and sorrows.

"We shall be considering the place of healing within our church's life and also the implications of the new Common Worship services to be launched by the Church of England in November.
