St. Mary’s is an intriguingly shaped medieval church with a thriving worshipping community that includes regularly a number of young families.
There is a monthly early communion service (8.15am on the fourth Sunday) and a weekly 10.00 a.m. service as follows:
1st Sunday, 10.00am, Family Communion
2nd Sunday, 10.00am, Family Service
3rd Sunday, 10.00am, Parish Communion
4th Sunday, 10.00am, “Songs of Praise”
There is a crèche at every 10.00am service, a junior choir on the first and second Sunday, a Sunday club for those aged 3-12, and an adult choir on the third Sunday.
Two regular weekday services are held at St Mary's. On the 2nd Wednesday there is a said traditional 1662 Holy Communion service at 11.00am, followed by coffee and biscuits; car lifts can be provided. On the 1st Thursday, a communion service in a more informal relaxed atmosphere is held at 10.00am and again is followed by coffee.
The church is also responsible for running a new-villager welcome scheme, two youth clubs, a Neighbourhood Care Scheme, a weekly prayer group and a monthly "T@3" for those of a certain age. House groups meet from time to time, and often as part of a Lent Course. And, annually, there is a "Safari Supper", a "Men's Breakfast", a Harvest Supper and a village Garden Fete.
All are welcome.
