Morning Prayer lasts about 30 minutes, you could pop in for 5 minutes on your way from dropping the children off at school or on your way to work.

Wednesday - Mamas Matter
This is a 10 week postnatal course/group. Our 4th group starts in February 2025 and will run every Thursday 9.30am - 11.30am. If you have a little one 0-6mths and think you would love to join other ‘mamas’, build a community of friendship and support, have somewhere to come each week that feels safe, free of judgement and where you explore topics relating to motherhood together, share your stories and offer support to each other - then please do get in touch as there are limited spaces. This is a closed group so that the mums can really get to know each other, build trusting connections and journey through the 10 weeks together.
Contact Briony if you are interested in the next group. briony@standrewschelmsleywood.com or pop into church and speak to us.
