Congratulations and well done to the McHale family!
Here’s a short message from Liz McHale – “This year’s Bike ‘n’ Hike event took place last Saturday (11th September) with glorious weather. We got to 18 churches and did about 35km. The photo on the sponsor page is from Northill.”
Finally, there’s still time to sponsor them on their JustGiving page which closes in a month’s time (don’t forgot to GiftAid if you can!)
St Peter’s Bedford JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/McHalesBikeandHike-2021
Half the funds go to Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust with the other half to a church of the participants choice – St Peter’s in this case (of course!)
We are pleased to announce that the total required for replacing the Bell Sallies has sucessfully been acheived and this campaign is now finished. As mentioned before, any surplus has been moved into our next campaign for the updating and replacing of the church lighting.

Into your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brother Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
In this life you embraced him with your tender love,
and opened to him the gate of heaven.
The old order has passed away,
as you welcome him into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen
We also join together in this prayer from the Church of England
