Join
us at one of St. Peter's 140th Anniversary services
If you would like to give thanks to God for ICS's ministry at St.
Peter's Church, its part in your life or the life of a relative
or friend, and to pray for its future mission and ministry, we would
be delighted to welcome to one of the special 140th Anniversary
services on:
Monday 14 June: 2 pm: Thanksgiving Service for St. Peter's
Zermatt; followed by afternoon tea. Venue: Birmingham Cathedral,
UK. The service follows ICS's AGM and annual meeting which begin
at 11.30 am. Do join us for the whole event! or
Sunday 11 July: 10 am Thanksgiving Service. Venue: St. Peter's
Church, Zermatt.
Please ensure that you call or e-mail Jeannette at ICS on ajskuse@ics-uk.org
to indicate which service you plan to attend (remembering to include
your name and address). Please also ask Jeannette for 140th anniversary
leaflets to pass on to friends who have a special association with
Zermatt, or let us know their address and we will send them an invitation
at your suggestion. We will send you venue details and catering
information nearer the time to confirm that we have received your
request.

for a copy of the 140th anniversary brochure which includes a brief
history of this historic church and information about the 140th
Anniversary appeal.
If you would like to give to the 140th anniversary appeal (which
will be used to help fund the current and future ministry and maintain
and improve the buildings - maintaining a chapel in the Swiss mountain
climate is an expensive business and ICS's work is funded entirely
by donations) you may use the form in the leaflet, call us, or make
a donation online where you
may also order a copy of A Church in the Alps. Your support
will help us maintain this important historic building, and enable
outreach to future generations of visitors and local English-speaking
residents: donations should be made payable to 'Intercontinental
Church Society'. Call us on 01926 - 430 347 (+44 1926 - 430 347
from abroad) if you would like any more information.

Alpine
Club of Great Britain: 150th anniversary service in St. Peter’s,
Zermatt
ICS was delighted to organise this special
service for the Club on Sunday 24 June 2007, many of whose past
members have worshipped at the Church whilst in Zermatt. Some too
are buried there, as several gravestones and plaques mark. The church
too has an historic link with the climbing fraternity – one of Edward’s
Whymper’s climbing party (Charles Hudson) who died on the descent
after the successful British ascent is buried under the communion
table. For
