Morning Sermon series - the Miracles of Jesus
Our new morning sermon series runs from 14th July to 1st September and looks at the Miracles of Jesus.
Throughout the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke as one who had authority. He then demonstrated His authority through the miracles He performed. His compassion for people was undeniable as He healed the sick, the paralysed, the blind, and the suffering. Yet He was so powerful that even the wind and waves obeyed Him. All of these miracles were a tangible way for people to see that He was who He said He was: the Messiah, the Son of God, who came to save the world.
The 10.30am service from St. Peter’s will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel.
Evening Sermon series - Judges
The next evening service series kicks off with a Worship Unplugged service on 14th July. We then take a 6 week stroll through the book of Judges, followed by a visit on 8th September from Bishop Matthew, who is talking on The Art of Giving.
The reading and talk from the evening service is available on our YouTube channel.

Refreshments are served in the church lounge from 10.30am and at 11.30am there is a 30 minute service in church for those who would like to attend.

Parish Centre
St. Peter’s parish church is an impressive Grade II listed building at the heart of the parish. In the 1980’s an extension provided a lounge, kitchen and toilets and work is currently underway to provide a welcoming entrance area.
Barrow Bridge Mission is situated in an important conservation area on the edge of Bolton. The attractive community is a former model community mill village and comprises former mill owner and worker cottages.
Smithills Fellowship meets in St. Peter’s Smithills Dean CE Primary School and Smithills Hall Chapel. The Chapel forms part of Smithills Hall and is leased from the council.
St. Andrew’s meets in the Hope Centre, which serves the Johnson Fold estate. The centre has been completely refurbished in the last 15 years, to better serve the needs of the surrounding community.
St. Peter’s Parish Centre is a hive of activity most days with church groups and other bookings.
It is also home to the administrative hub of the parish. The office is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am-3pm.
