Remember and Reflect
Chris our Lord, as we take bread and wine today to remember your death with deep gratitude, help us to reflect on how we should live our days in the light of such sacrifice and your gift of eternal life.

Brading News

St Mary's Church
St Mary’s had a visit from A.E. Cultural Tours on September 8th. They were greeted by Rev. Alison. This is a holiday company that specialises in coach tours around the UK that visit places of historical note. Hopefully this is a sign that life is getting back to normal, and it would be good if St Mary’s is on their itinerary of regular visits

St Mary’s Market
The market is open every Wednesday 10.30am - 1.00pm and Saturday 10.30am - 2.00pm in St Mary’s church hall. Please come and have a browse, you might find just the thing you have been looking for.

Thank you to all who helped at the jumble sale on 23rd October. £230.00 was raised for St Mary’s church funds.

Catherine is renewing the Electoral Roll at St Mary’s. If you are on the roll you will be receiving a letter and a form to fill out in the coming weeks.
