On Easter Sunday, we celebrate because Jesus died for our sins and then rose again.
Throughout Lent, St Mary's is kept stark and bare but on Easter Sunday, the church is decorated with flowers and the sombre purple of Lent is replaced with celebratory white or gold.
There is a joyful feel to our Easter Sunday service with uplifting music and repeated alleluias (an exclamation of joyful praise).

Please note that there will be
NO EVENING SERVICE ON EASTER DAY.

This is a shorter (said) version of a Eucharist service, without the hymns or a sermon.

St Mary's has an enthusiastic robed choir who lead the congregation in worship, accompanied by the organ.

They also perform anthems for special services, and are particularly busy over Easter and Christmas, with both Advent and Christmas carol services.

Choir practice is in St Mary's Church on Wednesdays at 7:00pm. Newcomers, ideally with a basic ability to read music, are always welcome.

On Saturday, 26th April, between 11 and 3, join us and event leader Paul Olejnik for a Siberian adventure! You‘ll be exploring the country’s Christian heritage, stories, flowers and minerals. You’ll also be taking up the challenge of building a church from 100% sustainable and renewable materials. Come along on your own, with friends or with the whole family! This event is, as always, suitable for everyone, combining faith, food, folk tales and fun. Paul says it’s a good idea to wear something you would wear for walking – including sturdy footwear. Lunch is provided.

A service of Holy Communion which usually includes a sermon and four hymns. The term "Sung" means that, in addition to the hymns, some parts of the service are sung by the congregation. The words and music are in the service booklet and are easy to sing!

Evensong is a service that’s traditionally held - as the name suggests - in the evening, marking the passing of another day in faith. It’s fairly short, usually around 40 minutes, and features choral music, readings and prayers.
