Last Sunday morning the Service of Holy Communion was conducted by the Rev Gill Orpin, one of our team of visiting Priests during our Interregnum.

In the evening, we hosted a wonderful service called “Little Stars” which was our contribution to the National Baby Loss Week.

This morning, we held our monthly Friends and Family Service. The theme for this month was the Harvest, but with a bit of a difference. Instead of bringing in the traditional produce from the local fields, everyone was asked to bring a gift of confectionary. These would then be given as a gift from St Mary's to maybe people living alone or those that are unwell and need a bit of cheering up. These gifts will be distributed later to people that have been nominated by Friends or Family. Quite a lot of gift bags were made up for this purpose. The service was led by Reader Simon Gutteridge who also led the Morning Prayer service during the main activities for those who wanted a bit more formalit
