St Mary’s and Bures Baptist churches invite you to join in a service of worship and celebration with guest speaker on Sunday 9th July in the Music Festival Big Top (please note there will not be an 8am service at St Mary’s on that day). The service commences at 9:45am and breakfast will be available from 9:00am. The Music Festival Committee will not be providing seating this year. We will have a limited number of seats but please bring your own if you would like to sit down. Thank you so much to those that have offered to help already but we could always do with more volunteers and would love to hear from you if you are able to help in any way. The Music Festival Committee have asked if anyone from the church community would be willing to volunteer (6 would be useful) to do a shift on the gate after the service on the Sunday morning? They also need to cover Sunday afternoon - two 1.5 hour shifts starting at 3.00pm. They are very keen to encourage involvement from the range of institutions in the village and are also approaching the school. It would be wonderful if we could offer them our support and show our appreciation for putting together such a fantastic event.

If you are able to volunteer to help with this event in any capacity, please contact Angela Morley [email protected] or the Church Office: 01787 227407.

Would you be kind enough to pass on my gratitude to the three churches. It had never occurred to me that you would give me such a farewell, and presents! I will treasure not only the memory of that, but also the kind words from so many individuals. The rose is beautiful, and I think we will use the garden centre vouchers to buy some garden furniture to replace the very old and shabby table and chairs we already have. I will miss you all.’ To all those who worked so hard to make the Open Gardens weekend such a resounding success and also to those who prepared the wonderful prayer stations in the church which many have appreciated so much this last week.

If you know of someone who might like prayer, needs a home visit or is unable to get to church and would like communion in their home, please speak to a member of the clergy or one of the Welcome Team or contact us via the details on this bulletin.

For people who are hard of hearing the church has a ‘loop system’. Please adjust your hearing aid to ‘T’ and if possible sit at least 2 feet away from church walls.

The toilet is located at the back of the church through the doors to the kitchen.

After the Service, members of our Prayer Ministry Team are available in the South Porch to pray for you, or with you on behalf of someone else
