Our vision is to be church at the heart of our community
Reopening the church - Following both Government and Diocesan advice we are hoping to re-open St Mary's for private prayer from the 22nd June onwards (10am-4pm). We will let you know the steps we will take to keep the building clean once we have a clearer idea of what will be possible.

For those without the technology to access our Youtube channel - The Diocese provide a phone number to listen to their services anytime (01865 920930), could you pass this information on to anyone?

Where is God in a Coronavirus World? - There are still some copies of this book available for just £2 each (subsidised price), great to read and pass on to others. Contact hughbarne (at) gmail (dot) com. Home delivery available!

This week we are particularly praying for those living on Loddon Drive, Station Rd, the High Street, Choseley Rd and those living and working in the Mount Care Home.

Dear friends,


This week we have been looking at the four commands in Psalm 100. The fourth command in this psalm is to “enter”. There is a sense in which worship is drawing near and entering into God’s presence, and not about speaking to Him from a safe distance. The reason we can be bold is that his faithfulness and love endure forever. The Apostle Peter speaking of God’s mercy and grace writes ‘For Christ also died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God’ (1 Peter 3:18). In all the uncertainties surrounding us He is faithful (verse 5), His word is dependable, and promises are trustworthy.

We are reminded that the Lord is not only great, but also good (verse 5). There are grounds to praise Him not only for what He has done, but for what He is. Is this reality part of our lives?

With my prayers for you and your families


John Cook, Vicar
