So far we’ve had 50 questionnaires from 180 households on our Family Roll. We need more! We’d like 90. This is important, as it will set the agenda for our mission and ministry at both St Peter’s and Wolvercote Baptist Church for the next few years. We need to hear what God is saying to you and through you about the life and work of the church in Wolvercote. Please take the time (20 minutes?) to respond. ALL SOULS We will be marking All Souls this year during the 10am service on Sunday 2 November. If you would like someone who has died remembered in the service, please print their name(s) on one of the slips and put it in the box at the back of St Peter’s.
