Ride + Stride is an opportunity to discover the rich heritage of our historic church, view the beautiful countryside around us as you have fun with friends and family cycling, walking or even horse riding to local churches around us or help by welcoming visitors to St Mary's during the day. Whether you are taking part, volunteering in church or sponsoring members of our team why not join us for a BBQ from 5pm on Saturday 13 September. Everyone welcome- please tell us if you are coming so that we can make sure we have enough food.
You’re warmly invited to a very special Rogation Sunday service where we walk together around the churchyard and church, stopping to bless the land, animals, gardens and grain - giving thanks for God’s creation and the gifts of our countryside.We’ll visit cows, a pond, a garden and more along the way — perfect for all ages and a lovely chance to be outdoors in faith and fellowship. Ending with a Eucharist on the church field (weather depending). Following the service join us for a Bring and Share lunch After many years service we say a heartfelt thank you to Chris Field, who is retiring as our Church Warden after many faithful years of service to St Mary’s and the village. Join us as we say a heartfelt thank you to Chris and celebrate her dedication and the difference she has made. All are welcome - come walk, sing, bless and feast with us! The lunch will follow directly after the service. If you are attending just the lunch we suggest you arrive approx 11.30am. If you are bringing food please label any items that contain allergens such as nuts - so that we can ensure we keep everyone safe - thank you!
