Held on the 4th Sunday of each month (except December and Feast days) Café Church features coffee/ tea and cake in abundant quantities! Ideal for families it usually has a theme, not too challenging, laughter, a decent song and the Lord's Prayer. Lots of local residents come to Café Church every month for the relaxed atmosphere and chat. Our door is wide enough for electric scooters, prams, walkers and well behaved dogs.

St Mary's in charge of the kitchen at this month's Village Market! That means bacon sarnies, lots of cakes, possibly sausage sarnies (if Mike gets his way....) The market is on the last Saturday of every month and the responsibility for the kitchen refreshments changes around the groups each month.

In October 2023 The Eclectic-Lite Trio with Jonathan Worthy gave a concert in St. Mary's. The result was astounding... a sell-out audience enjoyed an incredibly entertaining evening of classics and pop ranging from Flanders and Swan to Lloyd Webber via Debussy and Les Misérables. It was an amazing evening and the demand for a repeat was instant. Well, we've done it! They have agreed to return with a brand new show (some favourites may return.) Put this date in your diaries now and watch out for more details on this page and via our Facebook page- link on the left. This concert is held in order to specifically raise funds for the church building so please let us know if you would wish your ticket purchase (we anticipate £12) to be used for more general church work.

Our Harvest Festival this year will be held on Sunday 6th October starting at 11am. The service will be followed by soup and bread! All are welcome to come and join us.

A special service for those who have lost someone close to them recently. A fairly quiet and contemplative service allowing you to sit and thank God for that time that you had them with you.

Remembrance Sunday this year is 10th November and we will be especially aware of the Battles of Kohima and Imphal in North-East India. The service will start at 10.45am outside church by the war memorial and then process into church for the service. There is no Communion at this service. The service book will be uploaded here nearer the day.

Our biggest service of the year will on Monday 16th December at 6.30pm. With participation from West Rainton Primary School, the Youth Group and the Brownies, this a real traditional village carol service to get the Season going! Followed by mince pies and a tipple. Always well attended and real loved tradition. The service book will be uploaded here nearer the date.

Will be held this year at 7pm on Christmas Eve when we anticipate the Birth of our Saviour.
