Jesus said "Peace be with you" John 20: 19

The resurrected Jesus came and stood among his disciples and said "Peace be with you."
How they needed His presence and His peace.

We are the same today, we need to know the presence of the resurrected Jesus in our lives.
We need to know the peace of the resurrected Jesus in our lives.

The presence of Christ brings a deep assurance and an overwhelming outpouring of His love into our lives.

His peace enables us to endure the deep sufferings and disturbances that human life brings. Peace sustains us through everything and releases us to support those around us.

May the presence and peace of the living resurrected Jesus be with your right now.

David
Rev David McDougall
Rector of St Mary's Bletchley

Giving To St Mary's 
In these times when we are unable to meet in the Church building together, your donations are just as important to us as they have always been.  Your offerings mean we can continue to serve our community both practically and spiritually, worship, and connect with each other and maintain our buildings ready for when we can open again. 
Virtual Church is a real blessing, but it does mean physically making your offering interesting if you make your offering via the collection plate.  The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) has responded to this need and it is now possible to sign up to the scheme over the phone. Please call them on 0333 002 1271, remembering to have to hand St Mary’s Bletchley Parish Code which is 270627709 and know that we are in the Diocese of Oxford.  If you would like further information you can have a look on their website  https://www.parishgivingscheme.org.uk/for-donors/    

Or if you would prefer to make a one-off donation then please email me and I can tell you how to do this.  nicky.whitmore@stmarysbletchley.org 
Thank you.
