Party planners required! Rita, Debbie and Sonia would welcome help on the Social and Fundraising Committee. We aim to arrange enjoyable events which also raise money to enable St. Mary's to meet its everyday running costs. If you are interested they would love to hear from you.

Vestry Meeting and PCC Annual General Meeting These will take place on Sunday 16 March after morning service.   Everyone who is on the electoral roll is very welcome to attend.  We would be pleased to have more PCC members and sidespeople, and will need a new treasurer and two new churchwardens.

Church Electoral Roll This was completely renewed in 2013, as required every six years. Each year a review has to take place so if you are on the roll please let me know if your address details have changed. Also if anyone wants to be added to the Electoral Roll please see me or collect a form from the black folder in the narthex.  Thank you.  Sonia Tipper.
