This year during Lent and Easter we are inviting you to “Draw Near”, strengthening your discipleship and encouraging a deeper relationship with God.

The Lent we invite you to journey with us as we follow in the footsteps of Christ’s final days. We hope you will take time to reset and rediscover your roots through a period of prayer, reflection and sacrifice.

As well as marking the crucifixion and resurrection, we at St Mary’s treat Lent as a period of reflection and prayer, to this end we will be running prayer group throughout Lent, every Tuesday evening at the Vicarage.

Our doors are open to you this Lent and Easter. We look forward to sharing reflections and celebrations with you.

This Holy Week we invite you to visit St Mary the Virgin, Finedon and wander through a prayer trail which will encourage you to walk in step with Jesus on the journey towards the cross.
Throughout the church will be number of prayer stations, each station intended to ask you to reflect, pray or explore different themes from the Easter story. Open from 12:00pm form 6:30pm daily.
(The trail will be paused between 2pm and 3pm on Good Friday).
If you attend our Trail towards the end of each day, you are welcome to join us for our evening around the fire for our Compline service
