‘…take my hand that is
Of the bone the island
Is made of, and looking at
Me say what time it is
On love’s face, for we have
No business here other than
To disprove certainties the clock knows’
From R.S. Thomas ‘Countering’

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!
