General Notices
CELEBRATION SUNDAY It was such a shame that we could not use the garden, but well done everyone who took part. An especial thanks to those who provided such wonderful refreshments
when we were able to use the garden after the Celebration Sunday Eucharist. They were marvellous ! Thank you.
CHURCH ENTRY Now our wonderful Vestry is operational, entry to the church is through the
Vestry once more, NOT through the North door. Please could North door keys be returned to the churchwardens or the office.
A message from Richmond Foodbank – The warmest of thanks to all at St. Mary’s for their continued generosity in contributions to the Foodbank. Over the last 12 months an incredible 432.1 kg of food was donated. Items of urgency at present include long life milk, long life fruit juice and biscuits. Many thanks again.
The Mothers’ Union’s Summer Fair Lucky Dip stall raised £75 including several donations for the MU Emergency Relief Fund. Many thanks to all who helped.
Readers and Intercessors Rota – The new rota is now available at the back of church, please sign up for the coming weeks, and especially for the 8th July (next week) and 22nd July, and also for the month of August.
Charitable Giving - If you would like to suggest a charity which you think St. Mary's should support over the coming year, please let either Jeff, or Sophy Fisher, the Charities Officer, ([email protected]), know by email or letter by 29th July, giving the reasons for your choice. To qualify for consideration an overseas charity should be Christian or a domestic one local.
GOVERNORS OF ST MARYS - We are currently looking for 2 new Governors for St Mary`s School. One to be nominated by the PCC, the other by the Trustees of St Mary`s. St Mary`s is a fabulous school to be a part of and enjoys a very valued place within our community. A Governor has a range of opportunities to contribute in terms of strategic leadership, rather than operational responsibilities. We need Governors who can oversee a wider range of areas, all of which contribute to the effective running of our school. The commitment would be for a four-year term of office starting this September, and includes termly Full Governing Body Meetings as well as Committee meetings. As these vacancies are specifically what are known as Foundation Governor roles, as St Mary`s was founded as a Church of England School, we are looking for people for whom the Christian faith is their inspiration and reference point and who worship regularly in church. If you would like to know more about what is involved, please contact Jeff, our Vicar. (020 8892 2318 or [email protected]) We would like to hear of expressions of interest by Friday 13th July. Thank you.
Giving to St Mary’s - If you wish to give money to St Mary’s to help fund its running costs you can do so by texting a donation in addition to using established giving schemes. Whilst we do not encourage people to use their mobile phones at all during the service, if you would like to donate this way as you leave the church, or whenever is convenient to you if you cannot be with us on a Sunday, please text STMY12 and the amount to be given to 70070 e.g STMY12 £10. You will receive a text message thanking you and asking if you want to gift aid the donation.
Email and contact details – Please use the welcome card, available in the pews or at the back of church, if you wish to be added to the parish list or to update existing information and pass to a churchwarden or sidesperson. This is NOT an alternative to completing the data protection form below.
