Welcome to St Mary’s Parish Church. St Mary’s is a thriving, growing, laughing and loving church. It is a welcoming and safe space.
Services are held every Sunday at 10.00 am at St Mary’s C of E Church in Stanley Lane, Eastham, Wirral CH62 0AQ. Some weeks there are also services at St Peter’s Chapel in Brookhurst Close and at the Church Centre (aka the Chapel of the Holy Spirit) in Eastham Rake. All of our services are followed by tea, ☕️coffee, biscuits and some time to be together. We’d love to welcome you and get to know you at any of our church venues.
We regularly share information by email with those who have chosen to be on our mailing list. The parish update is an emailed letter from our vicar, Rev’d Beth Glover; it keeps people informed about the things we do in the church, parish and community. If you’d like to be added to the mailing list please contact contactstmaryseastham@gmail.com
Services and Events
Good Friday 29th March at St Mary’s Parish Church
2.00 pm Good Friday – The Final Hour ✝️ 💜
We spend an hour quietly meditating on God’s unconditional love.
Reader Andy will be leading the quiet afternoon service. He says, “The service will be based on the passion according to St Matthew and, in between hymns (provided not sung) on which we can reflect, we will be looking at significant individuals of the journey and their impact, not only at the time, but what it means for us in our faith today.
Although the significance of this time will not be lost, the service will gradually move towards the final hours of the crucifixion rather than start off with it. I hope it appears as a journey on which we reflect and learn for not only this time period but throughout the year as well.
The service liturgy will be aimed at those deep in faith and also those who just want to learn more about the Easter story so please invite a friend to come along.”
