At St. Mary's visitors or new comers will be made welcome to join our worship as we meet together to share the sacraments, and as we journey seeking to live and grow, following the teaching of Our Lord.
Most of our services use Common Worship. On the 3rd Sunday of the month the 10am Eucharist takes special account of the needs of children with simpler words and sometimes drama in place of the sermon. We also the music provided by a music group then instead of the organ.
People of all ages are welcome at all services though - and there is a children's corner where youngsters can rest, draw or play.
All those who are Baptised (adults and children) are welcome to take Communion; those who do not wish to are welcome to come up at the same time for a Blessing.
If you pay us a visit please introduce yourselves to us, as we look forward to meeting you (coffee and biscuits - cake / sherry on special occasions - after the 10am Sunday service).
(Public car parks and on-street car parks close by - free on Sundays; wheelchair access now via S door - flat, no ramp needed)
The main services only are shown on the services page and calendar on this site - please see the services and events page on our website for full details.
