As part of our journey through the liturgical year St Mary’s holds a number of services outside of our weekly pattern of worship.
Special Services are centred around seasonal Church Festivals.
To celebrate Holy Week we held daily evening services, as well as Stations of the Cross, Maundy Thursday Service followed by Stripping of the Altar and a short service featuring music from The Crucifixion which saw our choir joined by visiting singers to bring this piece of music to our congregation. More recently we held a Service of Confirmation for candidates within our congregation, this was presided over by the Bishop of Brixworth.
6th June the 80th Celebration of D Day 7.30 pm in Church
This is a British Legion Service to honour men and women who helped to liberate a continent. It was the largest Naval, Air and Land operation in history. Amongst Americans, Canadians and British taking part approximately 5000 men perished on D Day. They gave their lives for our freedom. Bells at our Church and across the country will be ringing out at 6.30pm for peace. At 9. 15pm throughout the country peace beacons will be lit. Here, also in Finedon, an International Tribute will be read by a member of the Town Council outside the Church as we light our beacon for peace.
Everyone is very welcome. This is a community event for all. Come to the service to hear about local men who took part in this liberation.
This service will be followed by refreshments.
