St Mary’s is pleased to host this service, as we begin the season of Lent and prepare ourselves to follow our Lord on his journey to Jerusalem.
The ‘retired’ clergy invite you to share in this discipline so that, in the word of the Lenten Blessing, ‘we may grow in holiness, deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow him’.
A very warm welcome awaits you. Do come and share in this act of worship ! John Hartley on behalf of the Clergy
