As we prepare to celebrate Harvest once again, we do so in the knowledge that our Farmers have had a particularly difficult time again this year, due in no small part to the climate crisis. Yesterday at St. Mary’s we welcomed a church full of people to a community screening of the film “The People’s…
It was fantastic to start our weekly coffee drop-in this morning! We had 14 people (including a baby!) and had lovely coffee, tea, cakes and biscuits. And a good chat! We’ll be running this weekly and everyone is welcome – including young children (we have a play corner) and well-behaved dogs – dog water and…

The service was conducted by our Archdeacon, Revd Canon Alison Booker. Please pray for our own Wardens, for Sara Mann (Ketton) and Bryan Yule (Tinwell),…
