A small team of volunteers set to clearing up after the winter in the woodland and around the Church on Saturday morning...and there was a BIG bonfire! Over the next few months there will be 2 sessions a month on the first and second Saturdays of the month 9am-12. Do come along on 1st May for the next session as you will be very welcome - we are very spread out in the woods and are COVID secure.

As we reflect on the success of a number of socially distanced events for Holy Week and Easter we are gradually moving towards using the building in a safe way.

Welcome to Holy Week at St Mary’s. Together we will be remembering the events leading up to Jesus’ death and resurrection through online services, as well as in the church and woodland. Links to online services will be emailed as reminders throughout the week. If you would like to be added to our email list please ask admin@stmaryincharnwood.org.uk.

Thanks to the many volunteer stewards, readers, intercessors, and leaders who make all this possible!

One way to express our thankfulness for vaccines received, and show love for our neighbours, is to donate towards vaccines for others around the world. The Church of England is supporting the VaccinAid campaign led by UNICEF UK. Find more information on the Church of England page.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." [1Peter1:3]

Sometimes when we feel overwhelmed with things to do we need to pause, reflect and pray to see the way forward.

Explore the Easter Story from Palm Sunday to the Resurrection in the Wood with the whole family!

These will all take place on Tuesday 23rd March 2021 at 7.30pm by Zoom.

We celebrate 'mothering' as expressed by many different people in our lives this Sunday and celebrate how God's love works through all things.
