Ian and Matt
As part of our summer series His Story, Our Story, Or Song, Ian Sansbury talks with Matt Ryan about the unexpected path that led him into accountancy and the founding of his Wendover firm, Numbers. Matt reflects on how his understanding of work has changed: from seeing accountancy as something separate from his faith to recognising it as a form of everyday ministry. He describes the privilege of supporting local people and organisations, creating opportunities for young people and working parents, and build

Sally Moring
In this sermon from our 10:45am service, Rev Canon Sally Moring reflects on the importance of celebration: marking achievements, valuing people and gathering as a community in joy and hope. Drawing on Psalm 139, the wedding at Cana and the story of Israel in the wilderness, Sally reminds us that God knows us completely, loves us unconditionally and remains faithful through every season of life. God’s grace is not earned, but given freely, lavishly and without limit. Celebration, she suggests, is more than s

Jack and Rachel
At this week’s 10:45am Connect, Create and Celebrate service, Jack and Rachel explored Jesus’ invitation: “Come to me, all of you who are weary and overburdened, and I will give you rest.” Through an all-age talk and activity, they reflected on the difference between knowing about God and knowing God, the trust shown in the story of Rebecca, and the burdens people of all ages carry — from school and work to loneliness, illness, anxiety and family responsibilities. The message was simple and reassuring: Jesu

What do you think of when you hear the word “peace”? In this Sunday sermon, Sarah Frost explores the many different meanings of peace — from quiet countryside and calm minds to reconciliation, faith, and the peace Jesus promises to his followers. Looking at the prophets, the Gospels and Paul’s letters, Sarah reflects on Jesus as the Prince of Peace and asks what it might mean for us to become peacemakers in our own lives, church and community.

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

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.
Click here to see more.

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.
