This Sunday - APCM, 12 Noon, Old Library


This Sunday at 12noon in the Old Library, we will hold our annual parish church meeting (APCM). This is a special occasion in the year where we give an account of the year that's passed, look over our finances,  elect our churchwardens and members of the Parish Church Council and most importantly, give thanks for everyone who contributes in some small way to the life of the community here at St Mary's.


All those on the electoral roll are warmly invited to attend. If you can't attend, please keep the life of St Mary's in your prayers, giving thanks for our shared ministry in the city and the University, and praying for the many visitors who come to St Mary's day by day. We are so grateful for your support.

Check out our new termcard for Trinity term.

Eco Hints for May


Say no to the mow. Mowing your lawn less and letting parts grow long saves you time and helps give nature a home. If you want to make an even bigger impact on wildlife, wait to mow your lawn or a section of it until August to support even more animals. Contribute to citizen science and get to know what (and who!) lives in your church’s green space - sign up to take part in Churches Count on Nature (8-16 June 2024) at caringforgodsacre.org.uk/churchescount-on-nature-faqs/.
