Almighty God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed:
kindle in the hearts of all people the true love of peace;
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the earth;
that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward,
till the earth is filled with the knowledge of thy love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Children, Young People, and family Dogs...
As a church family, we are aware that bringing young children into a traditional church setting can be a little daunting. But, If you feel that you would like to explore our space and service as a family please get in touch for a chat about how we can enable you to be comfortable.
At present, there are no young families or teenagers attending regularly. This is not by design, we would be blessed to become a more generational church and the only way we can do that is to begin. Yes, there will be some bumps along the way but we can all learn together. There will be no one ‘hushing you up’!
Anyone wishing to bring their well-behaved family dog along is very welcome! they will even receive a blessing.
We look forward to welcoming you to St Mary’s Church.
