St Mary’s Update – 24th May

St Mary’s Update – 24th May

Congratulations to Mark & Gill on the birth of James, and also to Gemma & Andy on the safe arrival of Samuel!

The following dates listing services and events up to the end of June, have been advised to us by St Mary’s, note italicised services are not in the village.  Don’t forget – the collection on a Sunday morning is now being taken during the service just before communion.

  • Sunday 29th May
    • 9.30am Joint 3 Parishes service at St Mary’s, West Bergholt – led by the Dean of Chelmsford Cathedral.
  • Thursday 2nd June
    • 2.30pm 5Ts (no open house as it is half-term)
      Following the closure of the Village Friendship club, St Mary’s decided to hold the 5Ts every week. However more helpers to take turns in setting up and serving refreshments are needed to make it more sustainable. Murray Harlow would be very pleased to hear from you if you can help!
