1920s Film Night: Friday 21st October, 7.30pm

Experience a night at the movies 1920s-style at this screening of a silent film with organ accompaniment.

St Mary’s is thrilled to welcome David Gibbs, Director of Music at Kimbolton School, to improvise an organ soundtrack to the 1925 silent film The Phantom of the Opera.

“The Phantom of the Opera is terrific: unsettling, beautifully shot and imbued with a dense and shadowy Gothic atmosphere.” PopMatters

To complete the cinema experience, we will be serving popcorn and drinks to enjoy during the film. Please allow enough time to purchase these from the Transept before the film begins at 7.30pm.

Admission is free, there are no tickets – so do arrive early if you want to secure a good seat.

There will be a retiring collection in aid of our Charity of the Year, Emmaus Hertfordshire.

Urgent Appeal for Winter Coats

Do you have adult’s or children’s outer garments – coats, jackets, winter shoes, hats, gloves, umbrellas to spare? They must be in good enough condition for you to want to wear them!

We have been made aware of an urgent need for these items to help families in Dunstable seeking asylum.

Please leave them in the back pew (by the clergy vestry) in St Mary’s by next Tuesday 20th September no later than 12.00pm.

Thank you so much for your support.

The death of Her Majesty The Queen
