There are always lots of events and meetings happening at the church or that the church helps organise in the village. Events are also advertised on the FOSMA and village websites.
Lent Course - The Journey Of The Son
Lent is traditionally a period to do something to deepen your spiritual life. So why not give this year's Lent Course a try? No bible knowledge is necessary. The course will be discussion based.
The Journey of the Son: was the road that led Jesus to the cross joyfully embraced or stoically endured? Does his journey have anything to say about the struggles we also face to do God's will?
Tuesday at 7.30pm
10th, 17th, 24th March at Church House
31st March, 7th April: venue TBC

Outreach and Fairtrade
St Mary's church has been a Fairtrade Church for 10+ years, using Fairtrade coffee, tea & sugar at all church meetings, services and events. Plus we have a regular Fairtrade table in church after the morning service, where Fairtrade items may be purchased. So do come a have a look.
Fairtrade celebrate 25 years of impact
For 25 years in the UK, Fairtrade and their supporters have been fighting against poverty and inequality, making a real difference to the lives of farmers and workers across the third world.
From working with businesses and governments, teaching about Fairtrade in schools, campaigning and lobbying, to choosing Fairtrade in the shops, you have all been part of this journey.
We are proud to be a Fairtrade Church and nearby we have Banbury which is a Fairtrade Town so let's carry on for the next 25 years, demanding fairer trade and living incomes to allow the work to flourish. You can do this by buying their products.
Look for the mark!

Representatives of the Outreach Group all live in Adderbury or Milton and are from the two churches in Adderbury, the Quaker Meeting House or other Christian denominations. The charity chosen by the group to support this year is Christians Against Poverty (CAP).

CAP’s level of service is unique with clients receiving up to 60 hours of support; all clients receiving face-to-face home visits as well as an optional befriending service from members of the church - in an effort to tackle the common problem of isolation due to poverty.
