St Peter’s Church and the community of Beech are very much part of the Parish of the Resurrection Alton. You are invited to participate in the many services and events run throughout the year at St Peter’s and within the whole Parish of Beech, Alton and Holybourne. There is a lot happening in the Parish; exciting, entertaining and informative events are taking place all the time. Please keep an eye on noticeboards (outside St Peter’s Church in Beech), Sunrise (the Parish magazine) and the Parish website. Our Churches are now open again and we welcome you all to come, share and assist where you feel able.
Parish Re-organisation with Bentworth, Lasham & Shalden
As many of you will know, the parishes of Beech, Alton and Holybourne have been asked to have conversation with the parishes of Bentworth, Lasham and Shalden in the overarching re-organisation within the Diocese. This follows the effects of Covid-19 on Diocesan finances and with the agreed reduction of 22 paid clergy posts.
The proposal is to find ways in which we can become one single parish across all the churches involved and cover ministry and mission. This is a big task and there have been a couple of meetings so far to begin to get to know each other.
Four workstreams have been outlined, which will be starting soon.
- Service patterns
- Focal ministry
- Church of England Primary Schools, especially St Mary’s inBentworth
- Governance
Different people will need to be involved in these workstream areas with the hope that the parish can have something to report back initially by the end of July. This is unlikely to be the finished piece of work and further conversations will be necessary.
Please contact me if you would like further clarification on this or any other issues regarding Services, Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals or pastoral visits.
