Shout to God with loud songs of joy,
For the Lord, the Most High, is awesome’
Psalm 47:1

In St Mary’s prayer cycle for this month, we pray for those who have no one to pray for them.
***
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!
