WELCOME to St Mary's
St Mary's Welsh Newton is a lively and prayerful place of worship, peace, comfort and community. We belong to the Church of England but welcome people of all denominations or none. Whether you're a regular churchgoer, first-timer or lapsed attender, a seeker, believer or something in between, we'd love you to come along and join us. Service details are below.
What's on this month
We have a service or activity every Sunday at 9am.
ALL ARE WELCOME! You don't need to be a regular church-goer to join us. The regular pattern of services every month is below.
There's no dress code, and children are very welcome.
Service pattern
1st and 3rd Sundays: 9am Christian meditation in the church - we start with a brief prayer and then sit in silence for 20 minutes, before ending with a brief prayer.
At 9.30am we head outside for OUTDOOR CHURCH - an informal way of worshipping and learning about God. Find out more about it here. If it's raining we usually stay indoors!
2nd and 4th Sundays: 9am Holy Communion, usually led by either Revd Mark Melluish or Revd Penny Powdrill
5th Sunday: joint benefice service (ie a joint service for all the churches in the local area). Sometimes this is at St Mary's; often it's at another church in the local area. The benefice site should have information about where to find it.
