Toast Church
Toast Church is back on 23 April. This is our weekly children’s service which runs after school on a Thursday. People are welcome to arrive any time after 3.30pm for a drink and some toast as we gather after a busy school day. At 4pm we start our service of songs, prayers, story and an activity. Parents can stay if they wish or are welcome to drop off children and pick them up at 4.30pm. The service is designed for under 11’s but all are welcome.
Repair Café
Thank you to everyone who has offered help with the upcoming Repair Café. All new offers gratefully received. Please find below our poster for repair volunteers, people with practical knowledge and repair skills, which they are willing to share. If that is you, or you can suggest someone, please get in touch.
Eco Tip of the Week
Express your concerns and support those working for change. Please sign the Greenpeace petition calling on the government to power the UK with homegrown renewables. Every time conflict impacts oil and gas supply, energy prices surge, everyone pays higher bills and fossil fuel companies make bumper profits. The UK normally is among the highest domestic electricity prices in Europe, behind Germany and Ireland. Encourage the UK to double down on renewables and upgrade homes. Please sign via this link.
Toddlers
Toddler Group will be back on Monday 20 April.
St Peter's Church Trip

There are a few spare places on the trip and the Fellowship Group invites anyone from St Mary's to join them on the trip. If you are interested please contact Anne Smith on 07717947061.
