2025 COVID guidelines for STMM with STJE:

COVID is still with us. Please treat others with respect. Hand sanitiser is available.

Classic music for a summer evening. 7:30pm Saturday 22nd June.

Pay what you can afford – to reserve your space, scan the QR code.

All profits donated to: Sharewear Clothing Scheme, a Nottingham-based charity.

The idea is that those ‘riding and striding’ are sponsored for the number of churches they visit, and those providing a welcome in churches may be sponsored for the number of visitors who arrive during their time on duty. Half of the money raised goes to our own churches and the other half to Nottinghamshire Historic Churches Trust, enabling them to make grants to help churches with repair costs. In Hucknall, we received help from the Trust towards St John’s heating and for the work recently completed on the South Transept wall of St Mary Magdalene’s church

If you are interested in taking part to raise funds for St Mary Magdalene with St John’s churches in Hucknall, please contact jane_haywood@hotmail.com.

Support your local community with a visit to the Christmas Tree Festival; celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World at our Christingle service (the service with the orange); rediscover old favourites at our carol service; come along as a family to celebrate Christmas at one of our two Crib services (lots of dress-up activity for children); or spend time in traditional reflection and worship at our Christmas Holy Communion services.

We have something for everyone – check our events page for more details or click on the attached poster, above.

Everyone had a wonderful time during an informal family Communion Service which featured, hymns, child-friendly bible story, fun sing-along, activities and resources for the children, and a thought-provoking reflection by Revd Helen on how unfairly the world’s resources are distributed amongst God’s people.

Well… With everything going on, we’re still hoping to perform for you this Christmas! Lots of covid precautions in place, most of which are outlined on the booking form.

Christingle means ‘Christ Light’ and is used to celebrate Jesus Christ as the “Light of the World”.

Started by The Children’s Society, the Chrsitingle is a symbol to help children understand the importance of Jesus and the Gospel and their relevance at Christmas.

During the service, the congregation all ‘build’ a Christingle and learn about the four elements which make it*:

• An orange represents the world
• A red ribbon or red tape represents the blood of Christ
• Four sweets represent the fruits of God’s creation
• A lit candle represents Jesus as the light of the world

*All materials are supplied by church and will be handed to you when you arrive.

We thought it would be nice to share these so that anyone home schooling and not at the National Primary could access them.

This weeks worship is based on the values of Courage and Perseverance and the story of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane.

Don’t they look fabulous!

The wreaths replace the Christmas trees which traditionally grace St Mary Magdalene Church during Advent, but which in line with current Covid-19 restrictions are this year missing.

Thank you to all contributed
