St Peter’s Church
At St Peter’s Church, vicar Rev Janet Minkinnen and the church team, including curate Samson Kuponiyi and churchwardens Pam Rogers and Peter Lewis, strive to fulfil the church’s main roles.
These include going out into the community and providing support as well as being a place of worship for parishioners.
A part of this, the church has been tackling a host of important issues through its work, including inclusivity, climate change, improving recognition of notable figures, and helping people in need.
It became an inclusive church in
September, and is working towards achieving its Eco Church Silver award.
It is also supporting year six pupils at St Peter’s CofE Primary School with their project to create an art piece to sit atop Lord Grenville’s grave site – a project which MP Joy Morrissey has also shown her support for.
The church, which is also involved in Burnham Care & Share, provided support during the COVID-19 pandemic by checking on parishioners, calling them and sending out cards.
Rev Janet Minkkinen said she feels the church is important to the community.
She added: “As a church we’ve got to think about others. We’ve got to share what we’ve got.”
