The Rector writes: "I have held a Zoom meeting with St Mary’s Churchwardens and we have concluded that with Warwick's move into Tier 4, and the subsequent national lockdown, we need to suspend much of our current activity following the government's 'Stay at Home' message.This includes no longer being open for services, private prayer and rehearsals.
The reasons for this are several but in essence the safety of our worshippers, staff and volunteers is paramount at this time.
To this end we have returned to our previous lockdown pattern of a 10.30am live-streamed Sunday Agape service from church with an organist and cantor (if willing and available). We will keep the situation under constant review and further updates will appear on St Mary’s website and social media.”
Our services will be streamed on our Facebook page and then uploaded to YouTube.
See the Worship page for this Sunday's service sheet.

Culture Recovery Fund Announcement
 |
We were thrilled to hear we have received Heritage Stimulus funding thanks to @dcms, @HistoricEngland, @CofE_ChurchCare and the government’s CultureRecoveryFund. You may not be able to visit us right now, but we are still HereForCulture and working towards reopening next year.
We are delighted to have been awarded a grant of £25,000 from the Covid-19 Emergency Heritage At Risk fund to mend a leak in the nave roof and one of £108,160 from the Major Works Fund (via the Church of England) to tackle serious water ingress problems from both above and below ground around the WCs, side entrance and historic chapter house. The Major Works Fund grant was increased to £137,024 when it became apparent that two of the roofs would need reconstructing.
Without this funding, there would have been no possibility of embarking on these essential projects, both of which will help secure the future of our wonderful building for the benefit of many generations to come. |
