If you saw the tower lit up tonight it was our trial lighting. We have received funding for LED lighting for our iconic tower which can be seen all over #Cradley and from the train line.

A light to lighten the darkness.

Keep your eyes open for our next experiments!

A wet morning, but signs of #spring in the churchyard - take a stroll round between raindrops and breathe a little hope and beauty

[S. Peter’s, Cradley @StPetersCradley]

Candlelit compline tonight, the church full of song, prayer, and the light that cannot be overcome

The first in-person mediaeval plainsong compline since Covid, and we wound it together with the prayers of all the faithful throughout the ages. You could breathe it in the air…

[S. Peter’s, Cradley @StPetersCradley]

And one of our own angels, Chris with her sacramental hot chocolate with the Secret ingredient… warmth of love after compline tonight

[Mthr. Victoria ✞ SMMS @MthrVictoria]

On this dark night, with all the stories and all the dreams of the day and of the night for miles below…. The Angel @StPetersCradley stands guard over the Black Country… fierce yet tender

Sleep gentle, sisters and brothers, safe under the wings of love

[S. Peter’s, Cradley @StPetersCradley]

Children’s crafts, flowers for Mary and knitting from the MU at the Mothering Sunday service yesterday. So much love was flowing, God’s love blessing all kinds of mothering love, and flowing out into the community 😍

[S. Peter’s, Cradley @StPetersCradley]

The saltire flies half mast over S. Peter’s as we remember the tragedy of Dunblane. God hold, bring peace and healing

Inside the paschal candle is lit, with snowdrops, the flower of #Dunblane. Into darkness and pain shines the light of hope and presence no darkness can overcome

[Mthr. Victoria ✞ SMMS @MthrVictoria]

Heart melting moments in the parish today… our youngest person in the church family, at only four weeks; what a cutie blessing us @HalasStMargaret , and at @StPetersCradley this gorgeous moment of father-son sharing on the organ bench.

God in the air 😍
