St. Mary's Theydon Bois- Giving Thanks in 2023

In his recent letter, Reverend John Fry has asked us to prayerfully review our giving to St. Mary’s in 2023. Christians are called to love God and their neighbours, and their financial giving is a reflection of that love.

To assist St Mary’s to become financially stable there are very practical things we could consider doing:

increasing our giving

joining the planned giving scheme with weekly envelopes or a standing order
optimising our giving using Gift Aid if we pay tax
consider leaving a legacy to St Mary’s in our will (more information on this option can be provide through the Benefice Office)

For more information about donations and giving, please visit our donations and giving page.

Make your 2023 pledge now by completing the printed forms given to you in church or the online form here.

A church of welcome

At St Mary's Theydon Bois you will find an atmosphere that is loving, caring and welcoming to all. We aim to nurture each other to grow in faith together, through quality worship, bible teaching and prayer, sharing the love of God in Christ with others by example and our activities in the community and wider world.

Whatever your reason for visiting, you are welcome at any of our services. The main Sunday gathering takes place at 10.30 a.m. weekly (except on a month where there is a 5th Sunday, when we join with other churches for a joint service at 10.00a.m.). Every Sunday there is also a traditional service of Holy Communion at 8.00a.m. and a sung Evening Service at 6.00p.m.
