We are pleased to announce a new initiative from the Church Urban Fund, to create a weekly Place of Welcome at St Mary's House in the heart of Market Hill. This will be every Friday from 12.30pm to 2pm, and our volunteers will provide tea & coffee, soup and sarnies, entirely free of charge (although any donations are welcome). We are doing this with the cold & difficult winter months in mind, so please spread the word!

Anti-Slavery Sunday Woodbridge St Mary will mark this important occasion in celebration of abolitionist John Clarkson, buried in our churchyard, and where his memory resounds today. All are welcome at our 10am Parish Eucharist on Sunday 15th October to highlight modern slavery using prayers and resources from the Clewer Initiative. “We need to protect and care for all who are treated as a ‘commodity’ or ‘object’ – by traffickers, for their own financial reward. The influence and courage of those first campaigners against slavery remains a contemporary campaign!” (Fr. Nigel Prior)
