We hope you enjoyed coming to the Christmas services at our parish churches, and wish you a very happy and encouraging new year.

We have been reminded over these days that the familiar stories and images of the first Christmas were not a "fairy story with a happy ending" (listen again to John Cook's sermon at St Mary's Carol Service). And you will have seen the cards advertising the Christianity Explored course in the new year.

This is an informal way to investigate Christianity, or just brush up on the basics. It explores who Jesus is, why he came, and what it means to follow him. The course will take place in the Hannen Room at St. Mary's Church on Tuesdays from January 19th 2010 for six weeks (omitting February 16th) at 7.30 for 8.00 pm.

Please respond to the Parish Office or to the Vicar.

Our Parish...

Our Parish life is centred around three worshipping communities, coupled with a range of other activities which deepen our life together as Christians, and witness to the villages and hamlets where we live. We try to hold in balance the traditional forms and practices of the Church of England on the one hand, and the ability to move with the times and try out new ideas on the other. By this means, there should be something for everybody in what goes on in our Churches and among our parishioners, young and not-so-young.

At the centre is our belief in Jesus Christ, who lived on earth, died and rose again, in order to bring us into a new and wonderful relationship with God his Father, encouraged and enlivened by the gift of his Holy Spirit, and supported by the Word of God revealed in the Bible. This new life is the basis for our daily lives, directing the way in which we relate to the people and the world around us. You will find here pointers to how this works out in practice in our Parish activities.

We have a Vision...

TO KNOW AND GLORIFY GOD
AND
EMPOWERED BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT
TO SHARE THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST
AND BUILD HIS KINGDOM IN THE PARISH

This Vision is being developed by the PCC and is currently expressed in a one-page diagram which is published in the November Parish News, and can be downloaded here.

We hope and pray that through these web pages you will learn more about us, and want to come and find out more about what we believe, how we express our belief, and the many ways in which we enjoy the company of each other in our Churches. Please explore these pages through the links in the panel on the left.
