St Mary

Welcome to St Mary's Witnesham.
We're a friendly group of people who get together every week in our lovely parish church for the Sunday service at 10.00. On the 1st and 3rd Sundays it's Morning Worship, and on the 2nd and 4th Sundays it's a Communion service. If there's a 5th Sunday in the month, check the events page to see where and what it is - it moves around between Witnesham, Tuddenham and Westerfield!

Tea, coffee and squash are available afterwards, and you're welcome to stay and chat, or trundle off to enjoy the rest of your day.

Mid-week prayers
Not everyone can or wants to do, church on Sunday. So there's a 30 minute more informal service at 9.30am on Tuesdays

We're online too!
Have a look round the church and check out the facebook page and website.

What's on

Family Communion

Every Second, Fourth Sunday at for 1 hour
St Mary
St Mary, Church Lane Witnesham Ipswich, IP6 9JD, United Kingdom

We remember Jesus’ last meal by sharing bread and wine. The booklet and the Vicar explain what to do as we go along. If you’re confirmed, or you take communion in another church or denomination, then you’re very welcome to take communion with us. But if you can’t, or don’t want to, you’re still very welcome to come up to the alter rail for a blessing. Children are very welcome to come up for a blessing too. The whole service lasts about an hour.
