Our Thursday
Coffee Pot Group celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday in style. At our
Communion Service, the talk considered how we are called by Christ to serve one
another – and how the Queen had put this teaching into practice. Then we prayed for her.
Afterwards, we gathered at tables in the main church for our refreshments.
Instead of tea or coffee (or as well) there was Schloer and there was a specially baked birthday cake, cut by one of our older members. We
raised the loyal toast: “the Queen!”
St Paul's is a vibrant church in the open-evangelical tradition. It is part of the Church of England and its Parish serves Oadby, east of the A6. It is also part of a larger group of parishes, called a "Benefice," which includes St Peter's Oadby, Great Glen and Burton Overy with Carlton Curlieu. We seek to be a church for all ages, backgrounds, cultures and nationalities, that is growing and following Jesus. We have a congregation of about one hundred at our main Sunday service and are always pleased to welcome enquirers and visitors.
