Generous Giving Campaign - Our Goal and Our Needs 2023

We have published a leaflet entitled St. Mary’s: Our Goal and Our Needs, which gives the background to a "Generous Giving" campaign which will be launched at the 10.30am service on May 28. We are asking everyone to review their giving to the Church, and provide pledges by Sunday July 16 at which point they will be offered to God in the 10.30am service.

Of course not everyone will be able to afford more at these difficult times, but the idea is that we all think through and pray about what we give. For more details, contact Chris Saunders at kippingtontreasurer@hotmail.co.uk.

Book Seats for Ticketed Christmas Services 2022

Our more popular Christmas services are being ticketed again this year. The reason for this is that we need to make sure there is a seat for everyone and everyone is seated in a comfortable and safe way.

You may purchase tickets free of charge up to a maximum of six per person or family group. By ticketing, you will be guaranteed a seat at our popular services.

Once booked, if for any reason you cannot attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can free up the seat(s) for someone else. There will be a link to amend your booking in the confirmation email you receive. If you have any issues with booking or cancelling your tickets, simply ring (01732) 452112. Thank you.

Ukraine Toolkit

We are now sharing with you details of the Ukraine Toolkit that has been produced by the Church of England.

This ‘toolkit’ contains a range of resources for parishes seeking to help refugees, including:

  • A brief guide to what is happening in Ukraine and the humanitarian response, together with details of organisations and appeals.

  • Information on how parishes and individuals can take action to support those arriving, both through the family visa scheme and the humanitarian sponsor scheme (Homes for Ukraine).

  • Advocacy, prayer and theological resources for churches, as well as links to safeguarding advice.

You can find the toolkit on the Church of England website here.
