St Mary's Get Together Group , a regular informal social group, meets every few weeks for morning coffee at a local garden centre. At its heart are people who worship at St Mary's, but the group is open to all, and newcomers are always welcome..

The Get Together Group was started 20 years ago by Kath Elliott, Liz Robinson and Peggy Guest, together with Canon Jim Samuel and the Revd Dorothy Humphries. They arranged for people without transport to be driven to a garden centre cafe for coffee. The first outing was to a visit to Barnett Hill garden centre. - originally with five people meeting up once every 6 to 8 weeks. These events proved to be very popular and everyone obviously enjoyed a relaxing morning meeting new and old friends.

We now have up to 30 people joining us and for this we rely heavily on people who are willing to offer transport for these events so we are always pleased to welcome anyone who can help us with this.

Our next event will be on Thursday, 27th February meeting at Bodenham Arboretum cafe.

There is no need to book, just turn up between 10am and 12 noon. we shall be there and look forward to welcoming you .

St Mary's

St Mary's is the historic Parish Church of Kidderminster. On most Sundays at least 50 of our regular members will be present to offer praise and prayers to God, and to be refreshed and equipped to live out our Christian life in the week ahead.  Because of our place in the history of Kidderminster we are often the location for civic services for the whole town - most notably on Remembrance Sunday each year.  We welcome anyone who wants to join us for worship or our other activities, or to step into the beauty of the building - a place where God's presence can bring calm and stillness in the hectic rush of life.

Our Sunday worship is traditional with a robed choir and hymns accompanied by the organ. Families and children are welcome .

The church is a historic building.  During the summer months we welcome visitors on Tuesdays and Thursdays  (from 11 am to 3 pm) who come to explore this building where prayer has been offered for centuries.  Look at this website around Easter 2025 to see when this will begin again.

We exist to honour God and proclaim the Gospel, to nourish followers of Jesus Chist and to serve the community.   We are part of a Local Ecumenical Partnership with Trinity Methodist and a member of Churches Together in Kidderminster supporting the Foodbank and Street Pastors in the town.
