Thursday 8th May

VE Day Service Join us at St Mary's as we come together to commemorate VE Day with a special service of remembrance and gratitude, in collaboration with the Royal British Legion. This is a time to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom and to reflect on the lasting peace their efforts secured. Whether you have a personal connection to this historic day or simply wish to pay your respects, all are welcome to share in prayer, reflection, and community. We look forward to welcoming you.

Holy Week & Easter in the Parish

This Holy Week and Easter, we are offering a number of services and events to help us reflect, worship, and celebrate together. From contemplative gatherings to the beauty of Easter morning, there are opportunities for everyone to journey through this sacred season. Whether you join us for a quiet moment of prayer or a joyful Easter celebration, we hope you will be part of this special time as we remember Christ's sacrifice and rejoice in His resurrection.

On 5th July, Lucy warmly invites you to witness her ordination at 2pm in Christ Church, Oxford. 

This special service is where she will be formally set apart for ministry through prayer and the laying on of hands by the bishop - an important milestone in her journey of faith and service. 

A coach is being arranged for those who would like to support her, departing at 11.30am and leaving Oxford at 4pm for the return journey. Exact timings and pick-up location will be confirmed closer to the date. To help manage numbers, and if you would like to reserve a seat on the coach, please RSVP.
