St Peter's Church, Sidford
NEW VICAR
Our new Vicar, the Reverend Laura Selman, was licensed on 5th August 2020 at Sidmouth Parish Church. Coronavirus restrictions meant that the church was almost empty, but it was broadcast via Youtube, and a recording can be watched here.
MESSAGES FROM LAURA AND NIGEL
Reverends Laura and Nigel have created a few words on paper, which would normally appear in our Parish Newsletter. However, a sheet was distributed to those attending the Sunday service at St Peter's Church on 30th August. If you were unable to attend, you can access Laura's words here and Nigel's here.

ST PETER'S CHURCH
Built in the 1860s as a chapel of ease, the Church of St. Peter is the largest building in Sidford and is one of the two churches in the parish of Sidbury with Sidford. It is a typical Victorian brick building intended to be a church at the heart of the community. The fellowship at St. Peter’s see this as being both their heritage and their vision. The worship reflects a wide range of spirituality and taste, following the Common Worship book.
CHURCH HALL
The Hall, built during the 1970s, is used by the church and community for social and other purposes. It is available for hire - click for details.
