Welcome!
We are delighted that St Mary’s church building has now re-opened for worship and to visit for peace, prayer, reflection. All are very welcome – St Mary’s is open every day, all day, for you. Please be in touch, and see more on this website too, if you are seeking connections in prayer, chat, care, discipleship, online worship, support or a listening ear.

Public worship in St Mary’s church building has now resumed within government guidelines, and as we continue to evolve as a hybrid inclusive church St Mary’s continues to offer all the chance to join worship in person, or live together via zoom or via youtube, on Sundays & Wednesdays, and via Facebook live on weekdays. Please keep looking back here for updates. The foundational rhythm of daily morning and evening prayer, for others, for ourselves, and for our world, will continue every day including via St Mary’s Facebook live. 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 hope to re-open soon for groups and events to book St Mary’s and also St Michael’s Village Hall Peasmarsh, and to resume and grow fellowship, children’s, young people’s and other social gatherings in person again at St Mary’s.

With love and prayers,
Rev’d Sarah
