St Mary’s response to COVID-19 coronavirus

There is no doubt we are living in unprecedented times whereby each day the landscape seems to be changing and causing rising anxiety. From this Sunday (22 March 2020) our regular 9.00am and 11.00am Sunday Services will be ‘paused’ until further notice so as we can meet the needs of our community. In addition, our planned events and regular programs such as Merry Music, Needles and Threads and other fellowship groups have also been put on hold until further notice. However, St Mary’s is NOT CLOSED and we will be looking at new ways of supporting one another and being the people of God during these challenging times.

For Daffodil Day, St Mary’s Anglican Church will be colouring their fences with bright daffodils. This is to express to the public passing by that we care and our thoughts and prayers are with you. A special Daffodil Service will be held at 9.00am on Sunday 25 August with Jan Claridge as our guest speaker. There will be an opportunity for people to light a candle, a musical interlude by Kim Ritchie. Morning Tea will be provided following the service. People are invited to come along and add a daffodil to the fence, attend the service and be a part of showing we are a community of people who care for those who have lost loved ones to cancer or are doing it tough. We thank the local schools for providing us with lots of lovely daffodils hand made by their students.
