| Pastoral Care
Jesus gave us the perfect example of care for those around us in times of need. We have commissioned a team of Pastoral Visitors who have been trained to extend pastoral care to the bereaved, the sick, lonely and housebound and to families requesting baptism.
Please contact the Pastoral Visitors via the Parish Office .

| The Open Door
This is a monthly tea party held on the first Sunday of the month, from 3.00 to 4.30pm, in the Parish Hall opposite the Church. The event seeks to extend friendship and company to all who feel the need for this kind of support. The tea is very informal, and anyone is free to drop in. Transport can be arranged if required. |

The Pop-In Centre, run by volunteers from St Mary's, is held on Friday mornings from 10 am until 12 noon at the Risborough Centre in Clifford Road. Anyone over 50 (ish) is welcome to drop in for a coffee and a chat. If necessary, transport can be arranged for those who need it. Occasional outings, as above to Waterperry Gardens, are a popular feature. For more information contact Laura Kemp . |

Time to Remember
This is a special service for anyone who has been bereaved, whether recently or not. It provides an opportunity to remember and give thanks for the lives of those we have loved and to ask for God's continuing support in our grieving. Refreshments are served after the service. The last service was in September 2008. |

| Support through prayer
We remember the needs of people in our community through the intercessions in our services, prayer requests in our weekly newsletter and in the 'prayer triplets '. Please contact the Parish Office if you would like to be supported in this way, or write your request in the book in the Church.
