We remember at this time all those whose homes and livelihoods have been damaged by flooding in Cumbria. We give thanks for the courage and dedication of the emergency services who have come to the help and rescue of all in need. Let us be a community who cares for each other.
And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness;
I would hurry to find shelter
from the raging wind and tempest.”
Tomorrow at St Marys we have our reflective communion service at 8am, the all-age communion at 10am, and Messy Church takes place at 3pm in the centre. Do join us.
This week at St Marys : The funeral of Brenda Dancer takes place at 10:45 this morning (Tuesday), and tonight at 6:30 is the vicarage bonfire party – with food and fireworks – all welcome.

We are offering the opportunity to have the name of a loved one painted onto a glass bauble, which will then be hung on a Christmas tree in the church porch for a minimum donation of £2. Forms are available from church, or by phoning 01229 227976 or by clicking on the link below. All funds raised will go towards the restoration of our bell tower.
