It is 90 years since St. Mary's Mission, now known as Tynings Lane Church, was built. We are holding an anniversary festival from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th September 2026. Commemorative stones were unveiled on 19th September 1936 by Miss Joberns of Leighswood and the Mission Workers who had been reaching the residents in this area as an outreach from the Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin for several years. The Joberns family owned a brick and tile company in the area and two generations served as churchwardens at the Parish Church.We are holding events on the Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening, Sunday all day. If you once worshipped at St. Mary's Mission/Tynings Lane Church or you live locally and wonder what the fuss is about then you are most welcome to come and see us at these events. See our Services and Events page for particular details including our other regular services and meetings. Many details are also on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TyningsLaneChurch/
In 2023 the THOMAS Project, based at the Lazy Hill shops on Walsall Wood Road, piloted a scheme called "Plant to Plate". This was led by a professional gardener, showing how you may grow fruit and vegetables then cook and prepare them to eat. The growing part ended with our Harvest Thanksgiving Service, where attendees were welcomed and some of the produce was on display. It has carried on in 2024 and 2025.Please watch this space or contact the THOMAS Project at https://www.thethomasproject.co.uk tel.: 01922 452213 for more details.
