Refreshments, friendly faces, and companionship. A warm welcome awaits everyone.
On 20th July we will be holding a special service for the feast of St Mary Magdalene. This will be Emma's last service as parish priest. In order that friends of St Mary Magdalene from across all our partnerships and other churches in the garden city are able to attend, we will be holding our service at the later time of 2pm. This will be followed by afternoon tea.
You are all most warmly invited to attend. Please note there will be no service at 10am.
For more information please see our dedicated Patronal Festival 2025 & Farewell to Revd Emma page.

God of Mission, Who alone brings growth to your Church of St Mary Magdalene, Send your Holy Spirit to give Vision to our planning, Wisdom to our actions, And power to our witness. Help our church to grow in numbers, In spiritual commitment to you, And in service to our local community, Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
If you would like to request that we pray as a church for someone known to you, please first make every attempt to ensure that they would like to be prayed for by those at St Mary Magdalene. We will be conducting a monthly review of our Prayer List. If there is anyone who should come off the list or go on the list, please notify the churchwardens, Janice and Godfrey.
