St. Mary's and St John’s are the Church of England (Anglican) churches serving our parishes and welcoming everyone to worship and activities.
We are engaged in the life of our communities and are delighted that our beautiful buildings are here for the benefit of all.
Our churchyards are places of peace and beauty, where you can sit and enjoy the sunshine, flowers and nature all around – please feel free to wander in.
Dear Father in heaven, grant us the inner quiet we need so that we may come into your presence and hear you speak, forgetting all the things that try to force themselves upon us. May we experience your true and living support. Keep our hearts glad and thankful for everything, even in grief, anxiety, and suffering. In this thankfulness we can remain with you, and Jesus Christ can help us, Jesus, whom you have given as our support and helper in all that most deeply concerns us. We entrust ourselves to you. Keep us in your Spirit. Amen.

Epiphany Gifts 2021
At Epiphany, we remember how the magi, the kings, travelled from far in the east, following the star and bringing with them gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh - gifts of worship: gold for the King of all the world; frankincense for the baby who is God; and myrrh for one whose death would be important and would change everything. Before anything else we are called to worship – it is why there are churches!
This year at Epiphany, perhaps you would like to offer a gift of worship too.
