Stepping Stones

All are welcome at the new monthly event at St Mary’s, on the second Sunday of each month at 4pm - a fun way for babies, toddlers, preschool & KS1 children and their parents to grow in faith together.

Foundations Group

A new Foundations Group will be starting in the October – contact Tim if you think you might like to join. This year’s group has been a great way to grow in faith (or even prepare for confirmation) in a relaxed, supportive, fun, and thought provoking way. They meet at 19 Church Street. For more information please  

Ground Floor Group

The current Foundations Group will continue to meet twice a month in the Vicarage but on a Thursday under this new name. For more information please  

Men's Breakfast

this group meets at 8.30am at the Lion Hotel in Buckden on the first Saturday of every month - so far without missing a single month! Newcomers are made welcome by the core membership of men from St Mary's Church. Topics for lively discussion are based on questions of life and faith.

Buckden Surgery Patients’ Association Coffee Morning
Wednesday 2 December at 10.00am - Methodist Hall

The BSPA is holding a Coffee & Mincepie morning from 10 to 12noon. Please come and join us for a relaxing social chat, you will be so welcome.

Puddings and Conversation

8pm at Buckden Vicarage. All are welcome for an hour or so of hopefully thought provoking but not overly taxing conversation on a theological topic of interest, with tea, coffee and light refreshments and good company...

We come together in church to worship God, to hear His word and to share the Good news of Jesus, receiving forgiveness and renewal through His death and resurrection.

We are sent out from church to live as Christian disciples, showing love to others and living out our faith in all we think, say and do.
