Gardening Help!
As you know we are going to redesign our gardens but until that goes ahead (soon we hope!) could you spare an hour or two to help on Saturday 17th July at 10am? The gardens are looking a little neglected. Please bring your own gloves and tools. Thank you, Cheryl
Thank you from Pam & Mandy
Thank you for the beautiful flowers, cards, messages, prayers and thoughts that have been sent to us following Steve’s passing. We are still coming to terms with this very sudden loss.
Love Pam and Mandy Rackham
Thank you from Mary
I cannot thank you enough for the lovely Prayer Shawl you have made for me. It is a great Blessing to know I am being loved and thought of in my distress. With heartfelt thanks and love. Mary Weir.
Thank you from Elizabeth
Thank You to everyone at St Mary’s for all your kind thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers and messages of encouragement following my recent accident. With love from Elizabeth Charlton.
Thank you from Ruth
Thank you all for the lovely Prayer Shawl Eileen delivered to me. I haven’t been very perky recently but I’m on the mend. With others I have knitted lots of Prayer Shawls but never have the words on the accompanying card meant so much to me. With many thanks and love from Ruth (Blake)
Office Administrator Vacancy Deadline
Many of you will know that Dot and Carol are retiring from working in our church office. There will be an opportunity to thank Dot and Carol for their years of service in the Autumn, but for now this means we are looking for a new administrator. This new role will be an employed, permanent, part-time position of 15 hours per week. If you or anyone you know would be interested in applying, have a look at our dedicated page, and share it!
The Deadline is this Wednesday at 5pm!
St Mary’s Autumn Fayre Update
The autumn fayre scheduled for Saturday 2nd October will take place as a virtual fayre online through the website. There will be virtual stalls, a virtual auction and raffle and so on. There could even be a cake and preserves stall! We're in the very early stages of planning so there will be more details soon.
