Welcome
St Peter and St Paul’s Church is a Christian community worshipping in the heart of the village of Blockley in the beautiful North Cotswolds.
We serve the people of Blockley and its surrounding villages and hamlets of Aston Magna, Dorn, Draycott, Northwick Park and Paxford.
As a church, we are love to celebrate, we are inclusive, and our social and environmental responsibilities are important to us.
All are welcome to join us in exploring how we can live life in all its fullness.

Advent and Christmas
This Sunday we welcome the season of Advent. It is both joyful and sombre, as we turn our hearts and minds to preparation not only for the celebration of the birth of Jesus but also for his return in glory to judge the living and dead.
We will be helped in our preparation in Blockley by the Living Advent Calendar which will 'open' a newly decorated window around Blockley every night from 1 December until 24 December.
Maps are available here or at www.delap.org.uk/parish/Blockley_Advent_map.pdf, or in Blockley Shop, for you to find the windows. The first, on December 1, will be the ringing room in the church tower. Come to the churchyard at 6pm on 1 December to enjoy the switch on.
Next week, Sunday 6 December, services resume in church as well as our weekly Zoom. There will be 8am Holy Communion and 9:30am Open Door Christingle in Blockley and 6pm Holy Communion in Bourton on the Hill. The bible readings for Sundays in December can be found at www.delap.org.uk/parish/Readings_Dec2020.pdf

Services
I'm sure you'll appreciate the challenges of planning for services this
Christmas, with rules that have to evolve with the ebb and flow of the
pandemic. I will give you more information as it becomes available.
