Stepping Stones

All are welcome at the new monthly event at St Mary’s, on the second Sunday of each month at 4pm - a fun way for babies, toddlers, preschool & KS1 children and their parents to grow in faith together.

Foundations Group

A new Foundations Group will be starting in the October – contact Tim if you think you might like to join. This year’s group has been a great way to grow in faith (or even prepare for confirmation) in a relaxed, supportive, fun, and thought provoking way. They meet at 19 Church Street. For more information please  

Ground Floor Group

The current Foundations Group will continue to meet twice a month in the Vicarage but on a Thursday under this new name. For more information please  

Men's Breakfast

this group meets at 8.30am at the Lion Hotel in Buckden on the first Saturday of every month - so far without missing a single month! Newcomers are made welcome by the core membership of men from St Mary's Church. Topics for lively discussion are based on questions of life and faith.

For any further information please do contact  

Lively Discussion and Debate for 15+

This interesting discussion group meets at 1 Hunt's End on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Everyone is welcome. We use some thought provoking material to promote discussion of the BIG questions of life. Pizza and cookies are provided.

We come together in church to worship God, to hear His word and to share the Good news of Jesus,
receiving forgiveness and renewal through His death and resurrection.

We are sent out from church to live as Christian disciples, showing love to others
and living out our faith in all we think, say and do.
