A time for prayer

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the terrible attack in Manchester last night. St Mary’s is, of course, open today as usual for private prayer and reflection. Between 1.15pm and 2.15pm there will be the opportunity to light a candle in memory of those who were killed and injured last night. Jes and Ann will be there to lead prayers and to chat with any who would find that helpful.

“I have produced some hats for you to sample and I will knit to order. A variety of colours is available. I hope they will be bought as small gifts for any baby you know or anticipate. They fit very conveniently into an envelope to accompany a congratulations card.  If you would like to see the hats, please contact me, Ann Arran, on 01480 810380 or email fna.arran@btinternet.com I look forward to meeting some possible customers.”
