Here is a space to spend time with others as you get on with your creative project. Some of us will be knitting, others sewing, others crocheting, and others doing a bit of graphic design... Whether you're compelled by creativity or just in need of a cuppa and a chat - we welcome all people to join us!

Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians to pray from Ascension (9 May) to Pentecost (19 May) for more people to come to know Jesus. You can pick up resources from church to help inspire you over this time. On Wednesday 15 May, there is a Pilgrimage in our Deanery starting at 2pm at St Mary’s Handsworth and finishing with a service at 4pm at Christ Church Hackenthorpe. It is possible to come to pray at each stop and not do the walk, or choose to do parts of the walk. The stops are, 2pm at St Mary's Hansworth, 3pm at St James Woodhouse and 4pm at Christ Church Hackenthorpe. Feel free to join in as much or as little as you are able. The document attached below shows the route and the plan for the day.

Join us between 10am-3pm on Saturday 18 May 2024 for some Pastoral Care Training. This is ideal for people who want to have better conversations with people, such as being a good listener, improving their communication, demonstrating empathy, and praying with people in their time of need. This is good for everyone, but ideal for people joining the bereavement team and for those who want to be Pastoral Care Assistants.

At this service we gather around tables with tea, coffee, pastries and more. It's accessible and engaging for all ages, with singing, craft, and discussion. We hold it in our church hall and you'd be very welcome.

At our Cafe Church Service we will be reviewing and celebrating 2023, signing off the accounts and other legal bits, as well as looking ahead to what is to come. Come and Join us.
