Wednesday Group
25 May!
If you live alone and would enjoy a cup of tea or coffee on a Wednesday morning, then please call in and see us. Chocolate biscuits make a frequent appearance!
We can usually be found in Rooms 3&4 between 10.30am and 12 noon ...
... but on the fourth Wednesday each month
we meet at 12 noon and enjoy having lunch together.
For various reasons we have fewer volunteer cooks these days.
If you enjoy cooking, have the relevant certificates and time to spare
please contact Judy through the Church Office,
You won't be alone in the kitchen, willing assistants are always available!

Thursday, 9 June - Summer Concerts
The 2022 Summer Series begins with
Robert & Linda – Piano à Deux at 1.15pm.
Sandwiches will be available, on a cash basis, from 12.30.
These charity concerts are performed by first-class musicians who we pay for their time and expertise. Only by your generous giving are we also able to support St Mary’s church, and this year’s charity – Keys of Change which brings classical music, often for the first time, to deprived or suffering audiences, in remote areas of the Amazon basin, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Kolkata and the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima area in Japan, as well as in Greece and London.
To quote from the charity's website:
“Our music has brought alive emotions,
fascination, happiness, tears of sadness,
and generated hope and encouragement.”
