If you feel your soul might benefit from an hour of peace and stillness, candles and incense, some chanting, meditation and breathwork, and anointing with oil for healing and wholeness, Threshold may be for you.

It's St Peter's day, the saint our church is named after, and our patronal festival! Come along this Sunday to explore St Peter's qualities and the ways we try to embody these as a church, while we make Rocky Road for Peter the Rock 🪨

Congratulations to our lovely churchwardens re-elected this year, and charged and blessed for the year ahead at a service this evening. ✝️

Happy Pentecost! 🔥🕊️🌬️ This morning in Forest Rocks we celebrated the coming of the Holy Spirit as wind and fire by making and flying kites, and by eating (a lot of!) toasted marshmallows 👌 Also congratulations to Joshua who got baptised 🕯️

Beautiful afternoon at Forest Church celebrating St Mary, who had the courage to be Jesus's mum.

It's Forest Church on Sunday, and we're going to make rosary beads from real roses! 🌹🩵💙 ✝️⚓

Exploring the story of Noah outside in Forest Rocks this morning 🌈

We have two Easter gardens in church. One to look at, for people to use for reflection, and one made by the children on Good Friday that is already being well loved and played with by the littles at church 🤗 ✝️⚓

Happy Easter from Forest Church, where we made garlic butter from the three cornered leek in the churchyard 🌱, and spread it on toasted crumpets, and wet felted eggs as a sign of new life 🐣 Such a special worship community. 3pm last Sunday of every month. Join us!

So special to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus around our firepit this Good Friday. Please do join us to celebrate Easter on Sunday: 🌸 6am round the firepit for storytelling and moving into church for vigil service, followed by breakfast 🍳

Churchyard is looking beautiful.

Sunday 13th April. ✝️⚓

Reflecting on weaving baskets, the basket Moses' mother wove for him, the way Jesus wove his mother and his friend into a new family from the cross, the way God weaves all of us into a family of love and care within his church...

Have you ever wondered about sewing a deacon's or priest's stole? Do you fancy a day retreat doing just that?

Did you know that Fr Alex and Mthr Rachel both have ADHD? At St Peter in the Forest, we rejoice in the way God has created all of us, in all our wonderful variety of neurotypes.

A fabulous Forest Church to celebrate St Patrick's Day- we sang, prayed, listened to the bible, created green shamrocks ☘️, made green bracelets ('I bind unto myself today...'), and cooked potato farls over the campfire. Next Forest Church is on Easter Sunday at 3pm- can't wait to see you there!

The word is near you, on your lips! This morning we made lip balm over the fire and put it in tiny containers which we'd decorated with words of faith, so that when folk from @stpeterintheforest.bsky.social put it on their lips, they'll remember the word of faith that we proclaim. ✝️⚓

Every week in Lent, we will share a reflection from #WildLent Why not try it out, pop back on here, let us know what you made of it, and join the conversation? ✝️⚓

It's Forest Rocks this week! Join us round the firepit as part of the 10am Eucharist this Sunday as we play and explore the bible together, and share campfire snacks. This week we'll be making beeswax lip balm, and sawing wood cookie necklaces.

Our Lent course offerings- one five week group exploring eco church, and the start of a one year group reading the bible in a year.

At Creative Sunday today we enjoyed making bubble art, working with clay, and planting seeds in the sermon, and making boats in our intercessions, as we thought about how the God who makes the universe and all that is in it knows and loves us...

It's Creative Sunday this week. We have creative activities to explore and reflect with throughout the Eucharist. If you're in #E17 or nearby, we'd love to see you.

God is love, and those who live in love, live in God. Celebrating all the love that surrounds us 💞 at Forest Church this afternoon by making wire hearts, bendy wood hearts, and pride flags, singing and praying together, and toasting crumpets over the fire which we spread with tasty strawberry jam 🍓

It's our monthly Forest Church this Sunday, and you'd be very welcome to join us! #walthamstow #E17 ✝️⚓
