We are here to help people love and worship God. We aim to be, and encourage others to become, committed and active disciples of Jesus,
who love God and worship him, who know the power of the Holy Spirit and who show God’s love in every part of their lives.
May is with us and as I write this it is hot and sunny day. This year the month of May falls entirely within Easter Season, and in our worship we continue to celebrate the Resurrection of Christ and all that this means for us and for our world.
Every Thursday we have a simple mid-week Communion Service at 9.30am.
Coffee Shop is open on Tuesday & Friday mornings at 10am, and the Gardeners are usually working on those mornings too.
On Sunday 4th May we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day with a special service at 10am followed by cake and sparkling wine.
Monday 5th May is a Bank Holiday.
On Tuesday 6th May the afternoon Bible Study group will meet at 2pm.

In a change to our usual monthly pattern of services there will be Communion on Sunday 11th May at 10am (John will lead and preach - Tim will be at St Mark’s for their APCM). Baptisms at 12noon.
The newly elected PCC will meet on Monday 12th May at 7.30pm.

On Thursday 29th May (Ascension Day) after the 9.30am service at 11am there will be a burial of ashes in the Churchyard.
As usual there is lots going on at St Mary’s, but at the heart is our worship and prayer.
I usually open up Church (the new West Doors) for Morning Prayer Monday to Thursday between 8.20am & 8.30am; after a time of silent prayer I say Morning Prayer - anyone is welcome to join in.
God bless you,
Tim
