Thy Kingdom Come invites everyone to pray that God's spirit might work in the lives of people, encouraging them to know the love of God.
This year St Mary's Studham is inviting people to offer a prayer by taking a flower from the bucket in the porch, bringing it into church and placing it in the vase on the small altar on the right-hand side. You are invited to take a moment to reflect, to think about a person or a place in your mind or on your heart at this time. Our faith tells us that God carries everyone, all those whom we care for and worry about and that we are all held in God's love. We will offer these 'flower prayers and thoughts' at our service on Sunday 19th May at 10.30am.

Kids' Club is meeting on Friday 10th May in church at 3.30pm. Children and young people of all ages and their parents/carers are very welcome. Through lots of interesting activities the children will be finding out about the worldwide prayer movement 'Thy Kingdom Come' and there will be a short worship and a hot tea. To book your place please contact Caroline Child at [email protected]. There is no charge but donations are very welcome to cover the cost of the food.

This special service on Sunday 12th May at 3.00pm is for those in our three villages of Kensworth, Studham and Whipsnade who have been recently bereaved. It will help to focus on our loss and our link of love with those we remember. The service lasts for about 40 minutes and will be followed by refreshments. Please come and join us.
