St. Mary's Stoke Newington



this week's notice board
  • Our main Sunday services at St Mary’s are the 9.30am All Age Eucharist and the 11am Sung Eucharist.

  • Families are particularly welcome at the 9.30am All-age Eucharist.  Do sit as near to the front as you can. At the front you will find musical instruments to be played during the service, some toys and books if children need them and also mats for children (and adults) to sit on.  If this is your first time at St Mary’s do introduce yourself to one of the clergy after the service.

  • This Sunday at St Mary’s at the 9.30am service, Lucyann is presiding. At the 11.00am Eucharist, Graeme is presiding and preaching and Lucyann is deacon. At St. John’s, Jonathan is presiding and preaching.

  • Early Warning Forecast! Harvest/One World Week Lunch is on October 17th and tickets will be available from the 19th September from the Social Committee. Tickets are £5 each or £2.50 for children. 

  • Flowers are gratefully donated today by Betty Manning. Also by Morlean Jayasundara and her family in memory of Georgina Henry.

  • Pam Wadsworth will be selling paintings and pictures next Sunday 5th September after the 11.00am service. If you have anything you can donate, do let her know on pamewa2002@yahoo.co.uk. As during the Stoke Fest in June, and if the weather is fine, they will be on display on the railings outside church. All in aid of general church funds! And don’t think that by buying something, you can then enter it for the Art Group Project, which we still need people to sign up for! 

  • This year’s Patronal Festival is on Sunday 12th September for which the All Age and Sung Eucharist services have combined into ONE service only at 10.30am. Please make a note of the special start time! The service will be followed by the Patronal Lunch, which this year is a Bring & Share, in the New Church afterwards or, if hot and sunny, in the Rectory Garden!

  • If you would like to donate the flag for your particular country or nationality, we will fly it on your national day!
