Pew News - 28 Sept 2025
A message from Emy, our new Youth & Children’s Lead: “I’ve just completed my first full month at St Mary's and I have really enjoyed it. The Striders sessions have been great to get stuck into. The children are really lovely and lively! The work on the Veracity is ongoing, and it has reached a very rewarding point where the teenagers trust us. I'm excited to continue working here as there are so many new things coming up, such as the pavilion refurb and talk of Striders Extra and the After School Club. I’ve enjoyed meeting everyone in church and the wider community and I hope that we can continue to support and encourage the youth and children.”
