The Away Day will be a mixture of some serious spiritual reflection, some lively worship, and plenty of fun and fellowship. The chance to meet each other and go a bit deeper than the regular 'Coffee & Chat' after a service' is one of the main benefits of traveling away to a place like Nettlebed. (If you haven't been there, it's a beautiful house in lovely grounds). Tea & Coffee will be provided, but bring a Packed Lunch for break time. Got Children ? No Problem !!! Bring them along too as a Creche will be provided. There will be a sign up sheet at the back of Church later or you can phone or email the Parish Office for more information and to reserve your places. (01753-580467 [email protected]) Every Parishioner is welcome and the more the merrier. Car sharing will be available on request for those needing a lift there an back on the day.

Friends Of St Mary's - Datchet St. Mary the Virgin
Wednesday 31st December 2014 at 12:00 AM
Friends of St. Mary's
FOSM is an association of people who support our Parish Church - the Church on The Green - and want it to remain at the heart of village life, now and for future generations. Though members may not necessarily want to attend its services, at some time in their lives they may look to St. Mary’s to host a Wedding, a Baptism or even a Funeral, and they help support the church through an annual subscription. The financial amount is decided by each member (minimum £10) and as well as providing FOSM members with a valuable connection to church, it helps, vitally, to keep St. Mary’s ‘open for business’.
There is another side to the Friends - an annual social calendar more focussed on socialising than fund raising. The FOSM Committee seeks to offer a programme of activities for FOSM members to enjoy. Actually, non-members are welcome to join in all those activities too but the cost to them is always more than to members. Some activities are actually free to FOSM members but not to non-members, even though they may be regular church attenders.
How to join:
If you would like to become a member of FOSM, support the Church on The Green and join its social activities, please contact
Ron Piggott.
