Joseph’s life was marked by betrayal, suffering, and waiting - yet through it all, God was at work. In week 5 of our sermon series ‘Stories of Faith’ we explore how faith trusts in God’s purposes even when life feels unfair or confusing. Joseph’s story reminds us that God can redeem what is broken and bring good from even the hardest seasons. What others may mean for harm, God can transform for His purposes

ALPHA SUPPER
Think of a friend, neighbour, colleague, another parent at the school gate or someone you know who might be curious about faith – and invite them to come with you to our Alpha Supper on Wednesday 30th September.
Our Alpha Supper gives you the opportunity to try before you commit to more sessions. Our first session will provide you with an introduction over a special Alpha Welcome Supper where you will be able to meet the team and learn more about the sessions to come.

BLESSINGS OF OUR COMPANIONS - PET SERVICE
Pets have a unique way of enriching our lives, offering companionship, comfort and unconditional love. This September, St Mary's is inviting the whole community to celebrate those special relationships at a Blessing of Our Companions service.
Taking place on Saturday 19th September at 4:00pm on Mill Green, the informal outdoor gathering welcomes pets of all shapes and sizes - from dogs and cats to rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. Owners are invited to bring their pets for a short service of thanksgiving and blessing, recognising the joy they bring to our families and communities.
The event is about more than pets. It is also an opportunity to remember those faithful companions who are no longer with us. Visitors are warmly encouraged to bring a photograph of a much-loved pet to be included in a moment of reflection during the service.
Following the blessing, everyone is invited to stay for a bring-your-own picnic supper, with activities for families, including their pets, creating a relaxed afternoon for families, friends and neighbours to enjoy together.
Need Prayer?
We see prayer as essential and a privilege and we want to be able to pray for anyone that may need prayer. There is no judgement on how big or small the prayer request is and as followers of Christ, we are free to come to him and have confidence that Jesus hears and welcomes our prayers.
If you or someone you know needs prayer, send us your prayer. The request will be sent to a group of prayerful people who will pray for you or the person in need. As a group they will only know the information you ask to be forwarded to them, and they will hold this request in confidence. The request will only be shared with the small group of people in the prayer group.
