The schools may be back and the nights slowly drawing in but summer isn’t quite over yet!

This weekend sees St Mary’s begin our 125th anniversary celebrations in style with a two-day flower festival, Patronal Festival service on Sunday morning and a concert on Sunday evening.

There’s also the Cockerton dog show on the village Green on Sunday afternoon as if you needed another reason to pop down.

Refreshments are available in the church garden and of course we have a raffle too!
It’s going to be a wonderful weekend and we’d love to share it with you!

More details on the poster. 🌺🌼💐🌷🌹🌻☕️🫖🐾

Today is the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene, and the perfect time to help set the record straight…

Saint Mary Magdalene (feast day 7/22) was a highly honored apostle of Jesus and the first witness to his resurrection. She is mentioned by name in the NT more often than any other woman, save Mary the Mother of Jesus. Unfortunately in 591 in a sermon given in Rome, Pope Gregory the Great made two mistakes: he confused her with the unknown female sinner who anointed the feet of Jesus, and he identified that woman's sin as prostitution. Neither of these assertions is supported by scripture, but the damage was done. Only in recent decades has the Pope's mistake been openly acknowledged and the restoration of Mary Magdalene's reputation begun.

Be a Vicar, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
Maybe if you’re the Training Incumbent throwing the wet sponges and not the soggy Curate on the receiving end! Look at the absolute glee on Fr. Damon’s face! 😅💦
