Dear members and friends of St Mary's,


It was lovely to have Zoom fellowship following both the 9.15 and 10.30 services on Sunday. If you haven't yet seen Emily Kolltveit's 9.15 service and met Percy Peacock, do watch below as you have a treat in store! For all other videos and tips for lockdown please visit our homepage.

From Friday 1st May Celyn Cooke, our Parish Administrator, will be on furlough, so do email vicar@smvph.org.uk with any parish matters.

Food donations for vulnerable young people and their families may be left at the King Henry's Road doorway each week on Friday morning before 1 pm. The youth team is very grateful for the generous donations that have been made in recent weeks. Fresh food as well as non-perishable groceries welcome.More of our usual parish activities are starting up again via Zoom (link details on the homepage):

Sunday 10th May, from 4 to 5 pm, Grave Talk Tea. We talk about anything related to dying, death, bereavement, ongoing grief, funerals - all very topical subjects in this time of pandemic, so do think about joining us for a discussion in a safe and welcoming environment.
