Into this world, this demented inn in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ comes uninvited.
Thomas Merton

In St Mary’s prayer cycle for this month, today we pray for guidance to our government, that it may make wise decisions.

In these unprecedented times, St Mary’s is reaching out and supporting our community in many ways, especially online. But with activities in our buildings greatly restricted, we no longer receive the previous level of financial support from collections at Services, 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!
