Welcome to St. Mary’s !
I hope you’ll find it a welcoming and stimulating environment in which to worship, grow and serve.
If I had to sum up St. Mary’s in a few words, it would be these: we’ve committed ourselves to follow Jesus ever more closely. However long we’ve been Christians, there’s always more to discover, give and receive. For a Christian, there’s neither a passing out parade nor a retirement age: we need to keep making and renewing that commitment to follow.
Even if you’re not sure what you believe just yet, still you’re welcome to join us on our journey, as we follow Jesus ever more closely.What does this mean in practice?We’ve made four more commitments that we believe will help us to follow Jesus ever more closely.
We aim to offer worship that pleases God, both when we gather together and throughout the rest of our lives.We aim to pursue the presence of God, intending to live in such a way that allows God’s presence to abide amongst us.We aim to broaden and deepen our engagement with our world, engaging both locally, through ministries that we run here, and globally, through partnerships we have with mission and relief agencies across the world. And we aim to do all this in as fruitful a way as possible.
If you want to know more about these commitments that we’ve made as a church, please speak to myself or one of the other members of staff.Once again, welcome to St. Mary’s, and I very much hope you’ll want to make it your spiritual home.
Every Blessing,
