A couple of weeks ago I went to see A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood, inspired by the article 'Can You Say Hero?'

He once said, ‘ Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero.’ I wonder how we might be heroes to the children in our families, our streets and our church this week?

St Mary with St Alban is an ancient parish church located near the river, while St Peter and St Paul is the modern church at the busy crossroads in the middle of the town. Together we offer a lively mix of traditional and contemporary worship; a friendly welcome to people of all ages and backgrounds; and a passion to serve our community.
