Pilgrimages
From time to time St Mary’s, and other churches in the team, arrange pilgrimages. These have included day trips to important sites of spiritual significance in the UK such as Canterbury, to longer trips further afield such as the Holy Land. These trips are expertly led by members of the team clergy along with specialist guides. To find out about up and coming trips please check this page and watch out on our ‘news and events’ area.
Serving in church
We have a rota of helpers who like to serve during the services. Roles include Acolytes, Leading the Prayers, Reading the lesson, Crucifer – who carries the cross and leads the procession, and Master of Ceremonies who assists the presiding minister. Instruction and robes are provided. If you are interested in taking a turn at Sunday and some special services, please contact the parish office or ask the Church Warden on Sunday.
Lent course
Each year the Team offer a series of classes looking at different aspects of faith and Christianity in preparation for Easter. These may be held here at St Mary’s or at one of the other churches in the Team. To find out about the next series, keep an eye on the news and events section, our facebook page or email the office to ask to be notified when the announcement is made.
