Have you ever wondered what Psalm 23 really means for us today?

Join us for three special talks as we journey through one of the most loved passages in the Bible, exploring its message of comfort, hope, guidance, and God’s faithful care for us in every season of life while also looking at rest and suffering.

Whether you know Psalm 23 by heart or are discovering it for the first time, everyone is welcome. Come along for discussion, reflection, fellowship, and the opportunity to deepen your faith.

📖 Psalm 23 talks
📍 St Mary’s Church, Old Amersham, HP7 0DB

In just 10 days, our Rector Jonny will be taking on his very first Marathon! 🏃‍♂️

He’ll be running not just for the challenge, but to raise money for three important causes close to the heart of our church community:

✨ The St Mary’s Amersham and All Saints’ Mission Fund – helping support parish initiatives like our Alpha Course and our free-of-charge toddler group

✨Wycombe Homeless Connection – supporting those facing homelessness in our local area

✨ British-Ukrainian Aid – providing vital support for those affected by the war in Ukraine

Every mile run will help make a real difference.

If you’d like to cheer Jonny on and support these fantastic causes, you can sponsor him here via JustGiving:

Thank you for your generosity and encouragement!

On 4th May, I’ll be running the Milton Keynes Marathon! This isn’t just a personal challenge, but as a way of making a tangible difference beyond the finish line!
