ST MARY’S, BALDERSTONE

‘EVERYTHING we brew, we brew it for you...’ Our monthly coffee morning takes place, today, 10am to noon in the parish room. Our usual cake and craft stalls will be available. Everyone is invited, although we do ask that children are accompanied by an adult, please.

Tomorrow morning, our all-age, all together service starts at 10.30am. After a little break we’re back in the book of Genesis. This week Rev Wilkinson will be looking at Genesis eighteen, verses one to fifteen – ‘The Three Visitors to Abraham.’

Light refreshments are served after the service. Never been to a church before or have questions? Please don’t hesitate to get in touch! We would love to hear from you!

6.30pm. If you can’t come in person, you have the option of joining in via Zoom

Smurfs also returns this week. Tuesday afternoon
