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

David Blackmore
In this sermon for Christian Aid Week, delivered on the Sunday after Ascension Day, David Blackmore reflects on the call to put faith into action through love, justice and practical solidarity with our global neighbours. Drawing on the story of Frida in Nairobi and the transformative work of Christian Aid’s partner, Beacon of Hope, he explores how small beginnings — like the mustard seed — can grow into lasting change. The Ascension reminds us that the disciples were not called to stand still gazing upwards

Ian Sansbury
In this week’s sermon, Ian Sansbury reflects on the challenge of stepping beyond our comfort zones in faith. Drawing on Paul’s address in Athens and Jesus’ promise of the Holy Spirit in John’s Gospel, he explores how Christian witness calls us to courage, sensitivity and trust: meeting people where they are, speaking into their context, and remembering that we are never alone. The Spirit, the one who comes alongside us, equips and strengthens us as we seek to live and speak faithfully in the world.

Jack and Rachel
In this talk from the Connect, Create and Celebrate service, Jack Curham reflects on Jesus as the cornerstone and asks a simple but searching question: what are we building our lives on? Drawing on the Gospel of John and the first letter of Peter, Jack and Rachel explore the foundations we often rely on — money, success, comfort, and even outward religious performance — and why none of them can carry the full weight of our lives. Instead, they point us back to Jesus: not as another achievement to chase, but

Sarah Frost
In this week’s Digging Deeper service, Sarah Frost explores the biblical call to generosity and giving, unpacking why this theme runs so strongly through both the teachings of Jesus and the wider story of Scripture. Using a clear and practical framework of time, talents and money, she invites us to reflect on how we each respond to God’s generosity in our own lives. Thoughtful, grounded and highly practical, this is a sermon that connects faith with everyday action and the life of the church community.

In this Sunday’s Holy Communion service, Sarah Frost reflects on the theme of generosity at the heart of the Christian life. Beginning with the extraordinary generosity of God - the gift of grace freely given - she invites us to consider how we respond in return. Through Scripture and thoughtful reflection, this sermon explores how our time, our gifts and our resources can all become part of God’s work in the world.

David Blackmore
In this final session of the "Come and See" series, David Blackmore shares a powerful message on the essential rhythm of the Christian life: being with Jesus and being sent out for Him. Walking seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus, two disciples experienced a world-changing revelation that turned their exhaustion into a joyful sprint back to their friends. David connects this ancient story to our modern Eucharistic liturgy and Paul’s letter to the Romans, challenging us to offer our unique gifts—whether ser

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.
