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.
New Revised Standard Version. Mark 12:28-34
One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, he asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that ‘he is one, and besides him, there is no other’; and ‘to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength,’ and ‘to love one’s neighbour as oneself,’—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask him any questions.
It can be used for a mindful journey or to help one to be fully present in the now.
Just trace the pattern with your finger and either say a prayer as you go or empty your mind allowing the silence to be the prayer.
