'From the Old to the New'!

On Sunday the 28th July 2002 it was more 'From the New to the Old and Back to the New'!!!

On this Special Occasion St Peter's Church was honored that the New Bishop of Lincoln, The Rt. Revd John Saxbee and Mrs. Jenny Carpenter, Rural Officer of the Methodist Church, had accepted our invitation to come and join with Rev Bridget Hill and David Newlove (our Methodist minister) to commemorate the huge task undertaken 125 years ago of moving St. Peter's to it's present site.

 The Bishop, Ministers, Church Wardens and some members of the congregation  walked the half mile from St. Peter's Church to The Stump in glorious sunshine (joining the New to the Old) for the short service conducted by Revds David Newlove and Bridget Hill with the Bishop of Lincoln, Rt. Revd John Saxbee.

A good number of congregation from Saltfleetby, Saltfleet and Theddlethorpe had gathered along with St. Peter's Choir for this service and at the end of the service seemed reluctant to leave such a peaceful place.  The Bishop, Ministers, Church Wardens and many of the congregation then walked back to St. Peter's Church (joining the Old back to the New).
