fresh expressions of church
• As part of our Sacred Space solution we wish to launch a new type of Fresh Expression as part of the National Fresh Expressions campaign
• St Peter’s has the unique position to be a drop-in church for drop-in prayer and a new form of conversation and worship
• The aim will be to make us a true mixed economy Parish• This will be a long haul programme and will be completely
ecumenical in its expression – it is hoped that this will begin by 2012
• The Fresh Expression will be linked to our unique IT project with a light-touch approach. Our location right at the heart of the City, amongst all the shops, means we can put God on the High Street.
