'St Peter's Room '
Thanks to David Thomas, the project team and a lot of hard work, sponsorship and fund raising over the last five+ years, our new St. Peter's Room project is completed and was dedicated by the Bishop of Bedford on Sunday 19th. February 2006 as part of our main morning service.

We would also like to thank our Church Architect - Bruno Hooker and the John Glanfield partnership for the magnificent design of the building. Sadly, Bruno Hooker recently died suddenly - the room will be a lasting tribute to his excellent workmanship.
Also a large thank you to Michael Farrow and his dedicated team of builders who helped enormously with the problem solving along the way and produced the excellent craftsmanship which is plain to see. Construction progress was exceptional and the target date of 12th. November 2005 was met for our informal opening date.
Many other people, too numerous to mention, have helped in so many ways. We wish to thank them all.
Sponsorship of stones and corners etc.
Dear Donors
Thanks a lot to all the people who have sponsored stones and cornerstones.
Please have a look at the draft tablets before we get them printed on the Acrylic. Check that I haven’t made any mistakes, that names are spelled correctly and that the names that should be together are together.
I thought people would like to try to find their names on the stone wall, so I have produced a list to show the names against which the donations were made followed by the tablet on which they or the names they wanted to be remembered can be found.
If you have any comments or want to donate any further stones leave a note in the list attached or contact the churchwardens or:
Gerhard Nebe-von-Caron on 781777.
