Services at St Mary's
At present, owing to Coronavirus, our usual services are suspended until further notice. The services below show what our usual pre-Coronavirus service pattern looked like. In the meantime we have a Sunday video each week, we're holding small group and prayer meetings via Zoom and we have lots of other things going on throughout the week. Please see our calendar for more details.
Main Service of worship and celebration: 10.45 every Sunday

We sing a mix of vibrant modern songs with the best of traditional hymns. We look to encounter God through his Word and Spirit & share Communion on the 1st and 3rd Sundays.
Sparklers (for children aded 0-4), Ignite (for children aged 3-5), OneWay (for children aged 6-11) and a Ablaze (for 11-16's) run every week. There's also a supervised crèche for under 3’s.
We try hard to be accessible to both children and adults additional needs, so whatever your age or circumstances, a warm welcome awaits along with a coffee after the service: do come and join us!
Other Services
8:00 am Sundays – Holy Communion (traditional spoken service from Book of Common Prayer, with teaching) [NB - not 5th Sunday of the month]
10:00 am Thursdays – Holy Communion (spoken service) in the parish rooms, followed by coffee.
So many people in our community feel the weight of debt, and we are passionate about helping to release anyone we can from a life sentence of debt and poverty. At St Mary's we are working with Christians Against Poverty to bring good news, hope and freedom. If you need support, we'd love to hear from you.
Everyone has questions about what life is all about. We believe that everyone should have a chance to share those questions, explore the Christian faith and give their point of view.
Alpha is a place where you can ask those questions in an honest, friendly and open environment. We'll be running a course again in the Autumn, but in the meantime, find out more here...
