You are warmly invited to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on Sunday 12 May at 12 noon at St Mary’s.
If you would like to hear about how St Mary’s is doing in this post-pandemic era with the help of our volunteers and what the next year(s) may bring, the AGM is the place to be. It will finish just before 1pm.
We have it on good authority that cake and quality fizz will be the reward of those attending!
On Saturday 27 April a group of people from St Mary’s spent the best part of the day together at St Andrew’s church in Alresford, to think together about how St Mary’s could develop as a church in the coming years.
We had a fantastic conference leader in Lis McCormick.
The children had their own activity room and joined in with the adults for the winding up session, to tell us about their views of what was important about the church and faith.
Coffee and tea breaks (with cake – of course!) punctuated the animated conversations and the day was marked by positivity and optimism.
Here is a link to a video that was posted on Facebook to give a flavour of the meeting.
All comments made on the day are being collated and a report will follow before long.
To be held in the Annex at St Mary’s Wivenhoe on Saturday 20 April, from 3-5pm.
Fun for families with 42 chances to win prizes.
Raffle and refreshments with our entertaining caller.
Book in advance if you can, or call in on the day for any spaces
available.
A box is available at the back of the Church for any donations
for the raffle.
