Patronal Festival
This Sunday we observe the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, and this is our Patronal Festival, when we celebrate our patron Saint – Peter the Apostle – at St Peter’s Tide (or Petertide). The choir will sing the anthem Tu es Petrus by the Italian Renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c. 1525 – 1594). All are welcome to our main Sunday worship at 9:30am.
A collect for Petertide:
Almighty God,
who inspired your apostle Saint Peter
to confess Jesus as Christ and Son of the living God:
build up your Church upon this rock,
that in unity and peace it may proclaim one truth
and follow one Lord, your Son our Saviour Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen
