MARY BENNETT - 102 AND NOT OUT!

This weekend at St Edmund's, we celebrated Mary Bennett, who reached the remarkable milestone of 102 years old on Sunday!

Mary has been a part of the St Edmund's congregation for many years and enjoys the more contemplative, traditional approach to worship at St Edmund's. She was looking forward to a day celebrating with her family.

We're so grateful to be a multigenerational community across both our churches. Whatever your age, stage or background, there's a warm welcome waiting for you at St Edmund's and Holy Rood.

Fantastic news from our Diocese and Deanery! We're so grateful to be part of a Diocese that's mission minded and committed to helping churches be revived, revitalised and renewed.

The latest attendance figures show that our congregations are growing overall across our diocese. Some of that growth has taken place in churches where we have invested strategic Church of England funding, suggesting that our rejuvenate strategy is starting to work. Some of that growth has taken pla...
