PETERSFIELD
AREA CHURCHES TOGETHER
(PACT)
The number of our PACT churches is now
ten: alas, we've lost the Friends, who used to meet at
Winton house. So now our ecumenical group consists of:
All Saints, Steep; Methodist Church, Station Road; St.
Lawrence RC, Station Road; Life Church (Petersfield
Christian Fellowship), meeting at the Methodist Church;
Salvation Army, Swan Street; St. Mary’s Buriton; St.
Mary Magdalen, Sheet; Petersfield Evangelical Church,
who meet at Bulmer House, Ramshill; St Peter’s; and
the United Reformed Church, College Street.
We meet six times a year, pray together,
and support and partner nearly 20 organizations in the
area, ranging from Holiday Club, the King's Arms, the
Christian Ecology Group to Home Start Butser and
Christian Aid. Is there someone in this congregation
who would join me in representing St Mary’s? I have to
say that it would be a lot more enjoyable if it were a
job-share; and the enthusiasm of Christians from other
groups is inspiring. Your challenge for 2010 is to find
out about at least one of the linked groups, to talk to
someone in them and come back and tell us in St Mary's
so that we can feel more involved and committed.
