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)
Our Joint Benefice 'Patronal Festival' is being held at St Mary's, Great Bealings on Sunday 10th September at 11am, followed by lunch and drinks (and it looks set to be a beautiful day, so we can enjoy the wonderful grounds).This means there are no morning services in St Mary's, Woodbridge, but please join us at Great Bealings, and then back at St Mary's, Woodbridge in the evening, at 5.30pm, for our 'Songs of Praise!' where we are inviting you to choose your favourite hymn and (if you'd like to) tell us what it means to you.
