The 2026 Village carol will be held on Monday 14th December at 6.30pm. This is always the largest service of the year and we really do recommend that you come at least 20 minutes early. Central to the entire event are the children of the Village School who have become rather accomplished bell players as well as choristers!Further details will be added to this notice as things are agreed. In the meantime, if you would like to be considered to read one of the Bible readings (the nativity story) then please contact us by email ('get in touch' on the left)
Mike has been in training with Lindisfarne College and successfully graduated this year with a foundation degree in Theology. After being assessed and approved he was recommended to Bishop Sarah as suitable for appointment as an Authorised Lay Minister of the Word. This allows Mike to take services, preach and serve in the parish. Mike retired in 2023 and, after nearly 30 years worshipping at St Mary's, joined the process of discernment in 2024. After several months of examination, discussion and written work he was accepted by and commenced his degree at Lindisfarne College. The picture shows Mike with the group clergy and friends who came along to the service.
