Titley
St. Peters Church
At Titley we aim to provide a welcoming balance of the traditional and contemporary. Our early morning Communion is from Common Worship Order Two with the beautiful language as used by Shakespeare and loved by so many. On the third Sunday of the month we use Common Worship Order One. We are normally fortunate to be welcomed by Tony and June at “The Old Priory” next to the Church for coffee and fellowship after the Services.
St Peter’s is at the far end of the village from the pub and the village hall. The Grade II listed building stands at the top of a gentle slope and has a very welcoming countenance. In 2007 we raised a lot of money to mend major damage to the roof and since then have continued to raise funds through regular activities like the village fete.
Lying close to Offa’s Dyke and the Mortimer Trail we get a lot of walkers passing through the village. Since our new catering point and toilet were installed, we are able to offer refreshments and a “comfort stop” to weary travellers, as well as a place of meditative calm and tranquillity.
Our Community
We are a small community but a busy one. Farming is the engine that drives most of the activity around here and we tend to be observant of its rhythms. (As you can appreciate, Harvest Festival is one of our most well-attended services.) And though we are small, we are busy and we are committed to building and maintianing our community. If we were to define our mission it would be this: to create a place of worship that is relevant to life in 21st Century England, even somewhere as quiet as Titley. While honouring the traditions of worship that have had here for many decades, we also want to help the church to regain its position at the heart of village life.
