St Mary’s is keeping its Dedication Festival on Sunday 25 October 2026. This is a day for rejoicing in those who built this church, remembering with thanksgiving those who built the physical building and all those who have worked and who do work to ensure that the congregation flourishes.
Dedication Sunday will be kept at all three services and the sung services will include music for both choir and congregation that has been written especially for St Mary’s.
The annual service at which the names of those who have died will be remembered, particularly remembering those who have died in the last year, will take place on Sunday 1 November 2026 at 5 pm.
