St Mary’s Small Fellowship Discipleship Groups November – Pilgrim : The Bible

Meeting on Monday nights, all welcome to join the current small fellowship discipleship groups where during November we are using The Pilgrim Course booklet to discuss and delve deeper into what scripture means for our lives. In December, all welcome to St Mary’s Advent Contemplations in St Mary’s church. In February our next series of small fellowship discipleship groups will begin. Please contact Rev Sarah if interested – all very welcome indeed.

Welcome and updates….

Welcome!
Please get in touch, and see more on this website too, if you are seeking fellowship, prayer, chat, care, discipleship, worship, support, sharing thoughts, or simply seeking a listening ear. We are delighted that St Mary’s church building remains open every day to visit for peace, prayer, reflection. St Mary’s is open every day, all day, for you.

Within and between all the guidelines and changing times, we continue to evolve as a hybrid inclusive church offering all the chance to join worship in person when we can, or live together via zoom or youtube, on Sundays & Thursdays except in lockdowns, and via Facebook live on some weekdays. Please keep looking back here for updates. The foundational rhythm of daily morning and evening prayer, for others, with others, for ourselves, and for our world, will continue every day including via St Mary’s Facebook live when possible. Please get in touch if you have any prayers requests.

Pastoral care for those isolated, fearful or vulnerable in any way is always a priority, along with prayer and support for all. You are not alone, please be in touch.
If you are seeking practical help with shopping etc, please do contact the parish’s Shalford & Peasmarsh Community Support network, offering mutual support for every member of our community. Just call for support.

As guidelines allow we warmly welcome all to the many groups we offer in St Mary’s, including the much missed Shalford Parent & Toddler Group, and to all fellowship, and other social gatherings in person again at St Mary’s. If you would like to book the beautiful St Mary’s church or St Michael’s hall spaces please get in touch too.

With love and prayers,
Rev’d Sarah
