God, Jesus and the journey of life in six sessions.

A fast-paced, interactive exploration of the Christian faith.

In six lively sessions we look at:

LIFE - what's it all about and where are we going?

GOD - does he exist and, if so, what is he like?

MESS - why is the world - and all of us - so messed up?

JESUS - who was is he, and how can he be relevant today?

CROSS - what can the death of Jesus mean for us now?

ONWARDS - how can I go forward with God in my life?

If you have got any questions about life and the Christian faith and are looking for answers then why not "Make a Start!"?

Each session involves DVD clips, fun exercises, group discussion and time for reflection. Each session lasts about an hour and is free.

The course will begin on Thursday 23rd of January 2025 and continues on the following five Thursdays, 30th January, 6th February,13th February, 20th February and 27th February..

The course meets at 7.00pm in the Village Hall at Sutton (SG19 2NE), with a meal, before starting at 7.30pm

Friends & Family

Every First Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
Potton: St Mary the Virgin
Hatley Road Potton Bedford, SG19 2RP, United Kingdom

Our wonderful intergenerational themed services (Friends and Family), take place on the first Sunday of every month, with the exception of January and August, with something for everyone whether used to church or a complete newcomer. A variety of expressions of worship in various parts of our church building, including a quiet service of Morning Prayer with short sermon, crafts and activities for all ages, singing and music, prayer, Bible readings and all-age talk, coffee and cakes. Everyone welcome!

We celebrated our first live service for several months on 6th March 2022. It was a truly uplifting Lent service, attended by 11 children and 39 adults, who took the time to remember the people of Ukraine by lighting individual candles. April and May's services were equally well attended. There was no service in June as we celebrated Pentecost and Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.

The service is always well attended and it is a joy to watch the various people producing such creative objects.

The next F and F Service will be held on Sunday 2nd February 2025 Please join us for what is always a wonderful service.

In addition if you attend regularly or are attending for the first time you will be very welcome to join in the various activities, eat the lovely cakes and biscuits and take home a little gift.

St Mary's Shorter Communion returned in September 2022.

Sunday 18 September 2022 at for 1 hour
Potton: St Mary the Virgin
Hatley Road Potton Bedford, SG19 2RP, United Kingdom

Please bear with us as we make preparations to provide a variety of services across the age range, as we come out of lockdown.

Our "Shorter Communion Service": a simpler, guided service of Holy Communion lasting less than an hour. It may be particularly helpful to those new to church or unsure of church practices and traditions. Children are most welcome and will receive a Treasure Box to help them follow the service.

We restarted this service on 18 September 2022 and is proving a great success and we hope to develop it more as part of the Mission Action Plan
