MESSY CHURCH – Held on the first Sunday of each month
Messy Church is Church, but not as you know it. It is for everyone, and every element aims to be relevant and accessible to all ages.

The FRIENDS of St. MARY’s financially support our church through the monthly lottery.
Over the years, it has donated more than £125,000 by funding items such as church carpets, pew runners, handbells, bell ropes, etc. Currently, we give £5000 annually to the Church.
If you want to join the lottery, just talk to Andy Phillips (andisp28@hotmail.com) or ask David Prothero (diprothero@talk21.com). The monthly cost can be as little as £2, and the ten lucky winners receive over £400 monthly
between them. Don’t forget if you’re not in, you can’t win!
A small number of very heavy capstones are in the graveyard. These originally finished parts of the wall surrounding the graveyard have been unloved and unneeded until now. A church member has put forward an excellent suggestion for at least two of them—as bases for a bench that could be sited in the Northeast corner of the graveyard. Currently, there is no seating in this area.
