  Lord, you have taught us
  that all our doings without love are nothing worth:
  send your Holy Spirit
  and pour into our hearts
  that most excellent gift of love,
  the true bond of peace and of all virtues,
  without which whoever lives
  is counted dead before you.
  Grant this for your only Son Jesus Christ’s sake,
  who is alive and reigns with you,
  in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
  one God, now and for ever.
  Amen.
  The congregation here at St Mary’s meet for worship at 10am each Sunday morning. Our services are traditional, but informal and aim to make everyone feel welcome and very much a part of the worship.
  Our main worship service is a service of Holy Communion which we have on the first four Sundays of the month. The service lasts for around 60 minutes and is a mix of hymns, choruses, prayers and readings and concludes with the sharing of bread and wine at the Lord’s table.
  On the 5th Sunday of the month we have a worship service without Communion. A variety of different forms of worship traditional and modern.
  Following our Sunday Services please join us for refreshments served in the North Aisle of the Church.
  We are a children and family friendly community, Baptisms are held at 11.45am. following our main service. This is a very short, family friendly service where we make the child, their parents, family and friends most welcome. There is more information on Christening and baptism on our website. As an alternative we also offer a Thanksgiving service and details of this can also be found on our website.
  A wedding is a joyful occasion and St Mary’s will make your ceremony special, besides weddings we also offer renewal of vows blessing.
