Our Mission Statement
This church is here to glorify God
and experience Jesus Christ in worship.
We seek to do this by being a welcoming and caring family
in which all members play their part.
Our desire is to find out more about the love of God
and to share that love.
St. Mary's is here to help people find God.
A Prayer for this Week
Creator God, you love all that you have made.
You formed everyone in your own image.
Forgive us when we do not treat others
as those created and loved by you.
We pray for children and young people
returning to school or college this month.
We ask that you would inspire them
with a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge.
We pray for those who find school difficult:
the shy, the lonely, those who don’t have the right trainers
or mobile phone, the ones that don’t fit in.
Help those on the margins
to find good friends and a place to feel safe.
Most of all, we ask that all children and young people
would grow in wisdom and character,
knowing that they are precious and loved.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
