Friends & Family

Every First Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
Potton: St Mary the Virgin
Hatley Road Potton Bedford, SG19 2RP, United Kingdom

Our wonderful intergenerational themed services (Friends and Family) HAVE RETURNED with something for everyone whether used to church or a complete newcomer. A variety of expressions of worship in various parts of our church building, including a quiet service of Morning Prayer with short sermon, crafts and activities for all ages, singing and music, prayer, Bible readings and all-age talk, coffee and cakes. Everyone welcome!

We celebrated our first live service for several months on 6th March 2022. It was a truly uplifting Lent service, attended by 11 children and 39 adults, who took the time to remember the people of Ukraine by lighting individual candles. April and May's services were equally well attended. There was no service in June as we celebrated Pentecost and Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.

The service is always well attended and it is a joy to watch the various people producing such creative objects.

The next F and F Service will be held on Sunday 3rd March 2024. The theme will be Lent. Please join us for what is always a wonderful service.

In addition if you attend regularly or are attending for the first time you will be very welcome to join in the various activities, eat the lovely cakes and biscuits and take home a little gift.

St Mary's Shorter Communion returned in September 2022.

Sunday 18 September 2022 at for 1 hour
Potton: St Mary the Virgin
Hatley Road Potton Bedford, SG19 2RP, United Kingdom

Please bear with us as we make preparations to provide a variety of services across the age range, as we come out of lockdown.

Our "Shorter Communion Service": a simpler, guided service of Holy Communion lasting less than an hour. It may be particularly helpful to those new to church or unsure of church practices and traditions. Children are most welcome and will receive a Treasure Box to help them follow the service.

We restarted this service on 18 September 2022 and is proving a great success and we hope to develop it more as part of the Mission Action Plan
