ASCENSION DAY THURSDAY 2nd JUNE
A service of Holy Communion will be held at 7pm on Ascension Day. It is hoped that this will be a convenient time for any who are at work during the day, and that it will be early enough for those who don’t like to be out late in the evening. This year it will be a service without hymns, similar to the Wednesday morning and 8am Sunday services.

Two of our youth leaders, Stephanie and Tim Hutton, are planning our Worship Together service for 9.30am on 12th June. Young people will be involved with them in the service.

It may be a while ago, but the Children's Easter Club, Champions Challenge was once again a success with everyone having lots of fun. A big “thank you” is due to Cora, Phil and their vast team of leaders and helpers who put so much energy and enthusiasm into leading Champions Challenge during the first week of the Easter holidays. For three mornings St. Mary’s Church was a hive of activity and fun for 50 children, as they learned about the true meaning of Easter through crafts, songs, quizzes, stories and games, all linked to a sporting theme.
During Easter, it was good to share with Reverend Mother and the Sisters in their first Easter Vigil in the impressive new chapel at the convent at Costock. The former Archbishop of York, The Most Revd Dr David Hope, was the preacher and presided at the Eucharist.
