Other Groups and Activities

Here are some other ways to get involved in at St Mary’s:

Taking care of the church

Whether it’s dusting, sewing, flower arranging or helping out in the office, there’s plenty that goes on behind the scenes.  Do contact the Parish Office if you might be able to help. St Mary’s also has a supportive Friends of the Parish Church, which provides funds for maintaining the church building.

Welcoming

As well as a team of welcomers  who help at Sunday services, there are also volunteers who are on hand to welcome visitors during the week in the summer months.

Helping others

• Fairtrade Stall.  Once a month after the 10.30am service we run a Fairtrade Stall.  Fairtrade works with farming co-operatives, businesses and governments to make trade fair, so that producers earn secure and sustainable livelihoods. Buying Fairtrade products supports this and we will ensure that any surplus we make will go to a charity that works to end poverty and injustice worldwide. Find out more here.
• We also support the work of Jimmy’s Cambridge Homeless Project - www.jimmyscambridge.org.uk, and the Uttlesford Food Bank amongst other local organisations.
