‘Living Water who refreshes our weariness
Bathes and washes and cleanses our wounds
Be for us always
A fountain of life,
And for all the world, a river of hope,
Springing up in the midsts
Of the deserts of despair.
Honour and blessing,
Glory and praise
To You for ever and ever, Amen’
- Prayer by the Medical Mission Sisters

In St Mary’s prayer cycle for this month, today we pray for all suffering mental health issues, that they may receive the help they need.

Please donate if you can!
In these unprecedented times, St Mary’s is reaching out and supporting our community in many ways, especially online. But with Services in church cancelled, we no longer receive income from collections, nor from hiring out the church and hall buildings.
If you can help us financially to continue to offer Christ's love to our community in these difficult times, as those before us have done down the centuries, please consider making a donation by debit/credit card and to Gift Aid it if possible, by clicking this link to 'givealittle':
Thank you!
