SAFEGUARDING IN ST MARY’S CHURCH

As a church, we take the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and domestic abuse very seriously. You can look at the Diocesan Safeguarding Policy here. If you wish to talk to someone, our parish safeguarding officers are Geoffrey Udezuru (geofzy40@yahoo.ie) and Wunmi Somade (Sekto31@msn.com). Click here for the page on this site where you can find our Parish Safeguarding Policy.

You are welcome to join us for our Services at 10.00am every Sunday . Children are welcome too, if accompanied by their parents or guardians. There are activities for younger children at the back of the church during the service led by members of the church. See you soon!

Sadly the Rector has now retired from our parish, and will be moving to Worcestershire during August. During the vacancy, the Church Wardens will arrange for other clergy to take the services at St Mary Magdalene Church. Some time in the coming months a new Rector will be appointed to our church. If you have any enquiries about our church during the vacancy, please contact the church wardens or PCC Secretary or leader of the Mothers Union. You can find their contact details by clicking on the ‘Contact Us’ tab on the left.

Two of the most amazing women in the Bible were Martha and Mary, who were sisters. They also had a brother Lazarus. They are mentioned many times in the New Testament, as they were close friends of Jesus. You can read about them in these passages: Luke 10:38-42 / John 11:1-15, 43-44 / John 12:2. The picture above shows the time Jesus and his disciples came to the house of Martha and Mary, and how Martha prepared the food for everyone whilst Mary sat and listened to Jesus talking about God.
