St Mary’s choir will be leading the singing at the Good Friday Meditation service at 7:30pm on the 29th of
March. There will, therefore, be a rehearsal for all of those involved, after the morning service this Sunday from 11:15am to about 12pm. Everyone is welcome, even if you can’t sing with us regularly!

Please join us on Sunday 24th March for Morning Worship at 10am and Evening Communion at 6pm (both with Advocate Slot). This week we celebrate Palm Sunday with a reading of both the Palm gospel and the Passion narrative from Mark’s gospel. There will also be an update about the Bridge presented at both services. At the 10am service there will be a children’s group, with plans to go into the woods for an activity - please come suitably dressed – wellies or a change of shoes might be advisable!

This Saturday we will be exploring Palm Sunday and growing a cress cross. Followed by marshmallows and hot chocolate as usual!
