Summer's end?

It's September - almost! The children are back to school, the weather has a definite feeling of Autumn about it.  Could it be that Summer is over? I'm sure there have been memorable events to put in our memory banks.  Visiting friends and family, trips to the coast or the mountains or watching the Olympics.  Time is precious and one thing we can't get back, so enjoy the day NOW.

St Mary's has many changes but we are so pleased to have had Abi and Cora with us for some time.  The arrival of Revd Pat Edwards and Chris Ebbern are exciting changes, celebrating the Harvest and beginning new things e.g. START, a new 6 part course for beginners to Christianity. First session is at St Mary's Church on Tuesday 2nd October, 7.30pm.  Watch out for further details.

Whatever the season, God has lots of surprises and blessings for us all, so why not thank Him in advance?

Why not try something new?  St Mary's new Webmaster or write the Blog; Learn how to use the sound and projection system at St Mary's for our lively family-friendly services.
If you're a technophobe, there is always room for folks who like working with the children, making or serving refreshments, reading out loud, singing or bell ringing.  If you fancy working with the people who book our Church Hall, there is a role for you.
Whatever your skill or age, you can be sure you will be welcome.  We especially welcome teens or young adults to learn a skill and there is always someone to help you.
God has given everyone talents no matter how large or small and He wants us to use them.

Watch out for our upcoming events.  We have two concerts planned for this Autumn already!
