‘And if You hand us the heavy cup, the bitter one,
Of sorrow, filled to the highest brim,
Then we take it thankfully, without trembling,
From Your good and loving hand.’
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In St Mary’s prayer cycle for this month, we give thanks for the beauty of creation.

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!
