St Mary's Notices

As part of our thinking about 'a better world' and the need for change, I thought I'd share with you a couple of Pentecost messages I found thought-provoking. This first one comes from an event for Thy Kingdom Come - the Archbishop of Canterbury led a service with contributions from church leaders of many denominations including the Pope, who gave a homily addressing the need for change which you can see by clicking more details.

Join our online service of communion for Pentecost. Click "More Details" to go to the YouTube playlist.

Please keep praying for Matt and Mary and the new people engaging through the St Mary’s Forest Church page on Facebook and maybe take a look yourself.

Join the global wave of prayer calling all Christians to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know the love and peace of Jesus Christ. May 21st - May 31st 2020.

Everyone is welcome to join us for morning prayer each day at 9am. Please contact Adele for the zoom details.

Join us on Sunday if you are able but we do encourage you do a lateral flow test first and wear your face mask. Thank you.

Join us for Christmas week services and activities!

Christingle Service at Nanpantan Hall, Sunday 14th December at 10am
Please invite family and friends to join us at Nanpantan Hall for our Christingle Service in aid of The Children's
Society. It's the third Sunday of advent and the theme is Joy! All are welcome to sing some joyful carols, make a
Christingle, and join us for some festive refreshments. Please bring your own orange, if you can. You may also wish
to bring house shoes or slippers or wear cosy socks, as we ask that outdoor shoes be removed as you enter.

Advent Communion, Sunday 14th December, 6pm
A regular evening communion service serves as an evening of calm in what can be a busy time for all.
