Weekend Away

Every 2 years or so we run a weekend away course at a church conference centre which is open to anyone in our team ministry churches. Our next weekend away is is likely to be in 2024 at the Belsey Bridge Conference Centre at Ditchingham near Bungay, Suffolk.  See photos from our last weekend away in May 2022 here.


Confirmation

Admitting Children to Holy Communion

Each year we admit a number of children to Holy Communion on Easter Sunday. This involves a short 2 hour preparation session prior to this run by our Youth Worker Matt Williamson. This mean that they are able to receive communion at all of our communion services. Many will later go onto being confirmed but this is not a prerequisite. If your child is interested, please let Matt know - youth@stmaryssaffronwalden.org or on his mobile 07794 518 907
 

You can take a look at the full Church Calendar  and our weekly Grapevine newsletter for more information on all that's going on.
