Help boost our Christmas flower displays

Can you imagine St Mary’s without flowers at Christmas? We can’t, and that’s why we’re asking if you’re able to boost our displays with a small donation to help cover the costs.

If you want to target your donation toward our flowers, you can pass it directly to Shelagh, Dave or Alistair, make a donation to our bank account as usual with FLOWERS as the reference, or head to wkrk.uk/df to donate online.

Come and join us in the pub as we chat about how Christianity relates to the rest of our lives. From events in the news to how prayer can help us grow, exploring the deeper meaning of the Eucharist to unpacking just what happens when we celebrate Christmas. Every meeting is open to anyone, no matter if you’ve come before or you’re totally new.
