Heritage Project

Heritage Project: A Parish Invitation
Dear Friends, although our Heritage Project focuses on St Mary & St John’s (our Grade II listed building), it is a project for the whole Parish of Cowley St John.
Everyone is warmly invited to take part—whether you are part of SSMJ, St Alban’s, or not currently connected with our churches at all. There will be many
opportunities to volunteer, and we would love you to join in.
We are grateful to have received this grant (we can now complete all the capital tower repairs, disabled loo, new kitchen and servery etc), and it marks an exciting moment for our parish and wider community. As we begin this work, we do so not with anxiety or pressure, but with trust in God’s grace. “He who calls us is faithful.” We continue prayerfully, walking together with the Lord. The excitement has just begun!

Please join me in praying the following collect (taken from Common Worship) regularly for our life together at Cowley St John:
Holy Spirit, sent by the Father,
ignite in us your holy fire;
strengthen your children with the gift of faith,
revive your Church with the breath of love,
and renew the face of the earth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
