On Sunday 10th September we mark the annual Patronal Festival (St Mary’s ‘birthday celebration’, if you like), with a single service at 11.00am. It will also be Revd Rachel Wakefield’s first Sunday as vicar, and we would like as many people as possible to join in this very special double celebration.
Following the service there will be a bring-and-share lunch at 12.30pm. The lunch will feature a drinks stall, selling beer, wine, and soft drinks. We’re looking for help to run this stall – the proceeds of which will go to the Friends of St Mary’s, a conservation charity that looks after the building and grounds of the church.
Why not come along and bring your family to the celebration service or the lunch? Can you help to run the drinks stall?
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come along, as you are to all other days, services and events at St Mary’s.
From June 4th to September 3rd, as in previous years, St Mary’s will take the 9:30am Sunday service outdoors, (weather permitting).
We began worshipping outdoors out of necessity during lockdown, but so many people have enjoyed meeting in this way, and it is a great way to show our neighbours what we get up to on a Sunday morning. What better way to meet with our Creator.
Help is needed though, to set up equipment and furniture before the service starts – 15-30 minutes of your time is all we ask, both before and after the service. The more people come forward, the less often we all have to do it.
Please get in touch or speak to a churchwarden if you can help.
