News from St Mary’s Church
You may have heard of church “seasons” such as Advent and Lent. This year St Mary’s will be celebrating a less wellknown season – the Season of Creation. It begins on 1 September and ends on 4 October. For five weeks we will be exploring the urgent ecological challenges facing our generation, praying about it and considering what environmental actions we can take. Caring for the environment will be the theme of our Sunday and Wednesday services and four Wednesday evening discussion groups during September based on Ruth Valerio’s book, “Saying Yes to Life” , which challenges us to look at how our choices as consumers impact the environment and the lives of people in developing countries.
St Mary’s will also be supporting our sister church, All Saints, Radwell which is organising a two-mile chalk river pilgrimage from Ivel Springs in Baldock to Radwell on Sunday 11 September. The day before, from 2.00pm-5.00pm on Saturday 10 September, everyone is invited to St Mary’s Church for Cream Teas, Cookies and Savouries.
