St Peter and St Paul's Church
Historically Middle Rasen had two churches, St Peter's and St Paul's. One came under the Prior and the other the Abbott. Like many things over time they both fell into disrepair and by 1860 a major restoration was needed . St Peter's was then known as the 'High Church' and St Paul was known as the 'Low Church'. Both Churches required much repair work and, because only one church was needed for the community, the decision on which would be restored was made in favour of the more interesting of the two, St Peter's
As a result of the dismantling of St Paul's, and especially since much of St Peter's restoration was carried out with material from St Paul's church, St Peter's absorbed the title of its sister church and became the only parish church of Middle Rasen, with the dedication of St Peter and St Paul.
A Millennium Project to restore the three existing church bells and add three new bells was completed by March 2000. Bells 1, 2 and 6 were cast by Eljbouts (Holland) in 1999; bell 3 dates from 1695, bell 4 from 1721 and bell 5 from 1707. See also Bell Ringers
If you have a full history of this parish church, or other detail concerning the two churches and their respective benefactors the Drax Priory and Tuphome Abbey, we will be pleased to publish it << here >>.

TO RECEIVE OR NOT TO RECEIVE
Some of you may be joining your local church congregations to celebrate this Eastertime (you'll be very welcome!). Since covid all of us are more aware of how germs spread. When covid infection rates were high, churches didn't use the common cup, but instead you may have received a wafer that had been dipped into the wine (intincted). Most Anglican churches have gone back to using the chalice for people to drink from. However, I think all of us involved in ministry are aware that some people are very vulnerable to infection, either because of their age, or because they have a health condition that affects their immune system.
If you are vulnerable, you may feel that it's not safe for you to drink from the chalice. Over the years there have been many different fashions in how people receive communion, and for a long while it was unusual for the congregation to receive it at all, in those days the priest received on the people's behalf.
Our customary practice is to offer both the bread and wine to everyone, and our community is strengthened by sharing together like this. However, receiving in one kind', i.e. having just the bread or just the wine is a perfectly valid communion. The Notes to the Celebration of Holy Communion at Home or in Hospital, and for the Distribution of Holy Communion at Home or in Hospital tell us that where necessary [Holy Communion] may be received in one kind, whether of bread or, where the communicant cannot receive solid food, wine.' So, if you feel that your health means that it isn't advisable that you drink from the chalice, please don't do so. Join with us, celebrate with us, take the chalice when it is offered to you without drinking from it, just hand it back and keep your own health safe. We'd much rather you felt able to join with us, whatever your health concerns!!
Every blessing, Revd Annabel
