This is an all age, family friendly free event focused on having fun and creating time for us to come together and hear the stories of Jesus, plus other bible stories, and growing as a community. No need to book, just turn up!
We will do crafting, singing, listen to a story and then eat some yummy food together, what could be better on a Sunday afternoon.

Monthly BCP service
The civic service of John Dunlop will be held at St Marys on this day, all are welcome to attend.
At the heart of our Communion service, also known as the Eucharist, is thanksgiving, we give thanks for all that God has given us in Christ.
At this service, we, as a community, gather to ask for God’s forgiveness for sins, to listen to readings from the Bible, including a reading from one of the Gospels, to hear a sermon from Rev Alison, and to come together in prayer.
We receive consecrated bread and wine and at the end of the service, after sharing refreshments, we go out into the world to live and work to God’s praise and glory.
We love to welcome anyone to our monthly Sunday service so please do come along!
