A note, as we enter to say that St Marys is a place where everyone is valued, and where everyone should feel seen, heard, and safe. If you've been thinking about church but find the big wooden door intimidating, or have a negative experience of church, why not get in touch with Revd Leila and arrange to have a friendly cuppa first!
