ST MARY'S: Sunday morning services at St Mary's, 8am Holy Communion and 10am Eucharist for Ordinary Time. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer Evensong this weekend. On Monday the Julian Prayer group meets in the church at 7pm. The group starts with opening prayer and a reading followed by a period of silence for prayer and contemplation. This experience of '˜waiting on God' takes place once a month and provides a time of quiet and stillness in our busy lives. The next churchyard working party takes place on Friday June 29 from 2pm to 5pm and at the rate the shrubs are growing, your help will be very welcome. Do come along with secateurs and other tools to join this group of enthusiasts.
