Sally Moring
A Thanksgiving Service for the Life of Pat Freshney, held at St Mary’s, Wendover. In this service, family and friends gather to give thanks for Pat’s long and richly lived life: her devotion to Brian and their family, her warmth as a mother and grandmother, her love of baking, books, poetry, films, travel, narrowboats, church music and quiet practical service. Through tributes, readings, prayers and hymns, we hear of a woman remembered for her kindness, patience, humour, faith, and steadfast care for others

Ian Sansbury
At our 10:45am service this week, Ian Sansbury leads a thoughtful and honest panel discussion with Catherine, Suzanne and Alison on welcome and inclusion in the Church of England, with particular reference to LGBT inclusion. Together they reflect on what it means for church to be a place where people are truly seen, heard and able to belong; how scripture, love and lived experience shape our understanding of welcome; and how Christian communities can learn to disagree well while still making space for grace

Ian Sansbury
At our 9am service this week, Ian Sansbury reflects on welcome, belonging and inclusion, beginning with a personal experience of feeling like “the other” and moving into a wider Christian vision of community, dignity and love. Drawing on Galatians 3 and John 15, Ian explores what it means for St Mary’s to be a church where difference does not determine value or belonging, and where welcome is not just quietly offered but intentionally signalled to those who may fear exclusion. As St Mary’s considers joining

Dave Bull
In this sermon from our 5pm Confirmation Service, Dave Bull, Bishop of Buckingham, reflects on how a simple invitation can change the direction of a life — because meeting Jesus changes everything. Drawing on the Gospel image of Jesus looking with compassion on the crowds, Dave explores how faith changes the way we see the world, the way we see ourselves, and the way we understand our lives. At the heart of confirmation is the wonderful promise that God calls each of us by name, knows us, loves us, and send

David Blackmore
In this 10:45am sermon, David Blackmore takes us on an imaginative journey back to first-century Rome — not the grand marble city of emperors and monuments, but the noisy, crowded, hard-pressed streets where ordinary people lived and worked

David Blackmore
In this week’s 9am sermon, David Blackmore invites us to imagine life as part of a small Christian community in first-century Rome: poor, pressured, diverse, and living under the shadow of empire. Into that setting comes Paul’s letter to the Romans — a profound and powerful message of grace, faith, peace and hope.

In this week’s Connect, Create and Celebrate service, Jack Curham reflects on the calling of Matthew and asks us to notice just how shocking Jesus’ actions would have seemed at the time. Matthew was not simply unpopular — he was seen by many as a traitor, someone who had sided with the occupying power and profited from his own people. And yet Jesus walks straight up to him and says, “Follow me.” Jack invites us to think honestly about the people we find difficult, the people we might avoid, and the people w

Sally Moring
In this week’s sermon, Rev Canon Sally Moring reflects on Matthew 9 and the stories of Matthew the tax collector, the woman who reaches out to touch Jesus’ cloak, and Jairus’ daughter. Each story begins in a place of hopelessness — moral failure, isolation, illness, grief — but Jesus steps in with compassion, restoration and new life. Sally reminds us that Jesus does not wait for us to be worthy or strong, but calls, sees and walks with those who feel beyond hope. The message is simple and powerful: hope is

Tim Crapper
In this Trinity Sunday sermon, Tim Crapper reflects on Isaiah 40 and the mystery of a God who is both utterly beyond our comprehension and intimately concerned for each one of us. Drawing on the idea of “thin places”, he invites us to see creation as a place of awe and worship, while also recognising the God who meets us personally in our weariness, strengthens us, and calls us to hope. The sermon moves from the vastness of God’s power in creation to the tender image of the shepherd who carries the lambs cl

David Blackmore
This week David Blackmore speaks for Christian Aid Week and reflects on what happens when faith stops standing still and starts getting stuck in. Through the story of Frida in Nairobi, and the urban farming project that has helped transform her life, we see how small seeds of hope can grow into something strong, generous and life-giving. Linking Christian Aid Week with the story of the Ascension, David reminds us that Jesus sends his followers out into the world — not just to look upwards, but to roll up ou

Hello and welcome to St Mary's. If you are a new visitor, we have a page for you to get to know us and learn more about planning a visit.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome! 

The following information is specifically for those planning to visit us for the first time, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at St Mary's Church in Church Lane, Wendover, for our two main Sunday services each week, which start at 9.00am and 10.45am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

Plan your journey

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the Church Centre, which you can find through the door towards the front of the church on the left hand side.

Our Main Sunday Services

Our 9am Holy Communion is a more traditional service, including music and hymns in an established style but using up-to-date language. It will probably appeal to those who are used to more formal Anglican worship.  There is no provision for children at this service.

Our 10.45am Sunday Worship services follow a more informal style with contemporary worship songs. These services are typically most suitable for families. Children of all ages are very welcome and we have activities for younger children at the back of church. On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, we share Communion at this service. The first and third Sundays do not include Communion and are designed to be rich in teaching and learning for people of all ages - from 2 to 92!

You can find details of our other services here.

Getting Connected


Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out our Church Life section on this website to see if there’s a group that you'd like to join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church, why not sign up to serve on a team. We are always looking for volunteers to get involved in different aspects of our work.

 
Get in touch with us to plan your visit
If you would like to come and visit the church beforehand you are more than welcome! St Mary's is open every day from 9am to 6pm and you would be very welcome to come and have a look around before you come to a Sunday service.
