Church Organisations

A place to meet others, learn, and grow in faith

We have midweek groups throughout the year, in members' homes or in the Village Hall.

These are for exploring our faith together, and for getting to know each other better.

The T Club meets in the Vicarage or in a member's home on the 3rd Thursday afternoon, 2pm - 4pm.

Woolley Church and Community News is our monthly news and information sheet. It is delivered to all houses in and around Woolley village and contains details of activities at St Peter’s and in the village.
