‘For surely I know the plans I have for you’, says the Lord; ‘plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.’
Jeremiah 29:11

In St Mary’s prayer cycle for this month, we pray and give thanks for the work of aid agencies throughout the world.
Today is the World Day of Prayer. This year, because of the pandemic, much of the day’s activity will be held online: so we can all share the video worship service prepared by the women on the Pacific islands of Vanuatu, also featuring greetings from several countries. You can find it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edQMgNFdRdo&feature=emb_logo

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, please consider making a donation by debit/credit card and to Gift Aid it if possible, by clicking this link to 'givealittle':
Thank you!
