St Marys’ Christmas Fayre on Saturday 4th December St Marys’ is going to try and hold a scaled down Christmas Fayre on Saturday 4th December between 10am – 12.30pm in the Market Hall. We will be looking for quality donations for the tombola and a Christmas themed raffle. We hope to offer beverages with mince pies so a team to do this will be great and for the bake off fans homemade cakes & produce. For further information about stalls please speak to Michèle and let’s see if we can make this work.

The Gift of Love Autumn 2021 Stewardship Campaign At St Marys’ Tetbury this Sunday (7th November), we continue to think about the call to Christian giving. As we celebrate “Kingdom Season” we reflect on our work to bring in God’s reign of love, justice and peace, and how our giving enables our loving service in this place. During the service, as part of the sermon, the Treasurer Mike Hardwick will talk about how church finances work. We hope you can join us. Poppy

This year, loving concern to keep everyone safe means we will again hold the…
