‘Our protection is a God who spurned protection. Our protection is a God of vulnerability. We will be vulnerable as the children of Israel were vulnerable in the desert and, as God sheltered them, so might God shelter us. We will be vulnerable as Christ was vulnerable, and it is in Christ Himself where we find our shelter.’
Richard Rohr

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!
