  Once again, St. Mary’s Church is working with other churches in Plympton for an ecumenical Lent Course entitled: Perspectives on Holy Week. We are delighted that we have been able to engage a range of challenging and inspiring speakers, and we extend a warm invitation to all to join this course of study, worship and discussion, organised by Churches Together in Plympton.

Please note that meetings are on Wednesday evenings (with the exception of the first which is on TUESDAY 28th February) and all start at 7.30pm. Each will follow a similar pattern. Refreshments will be served by the host church from 7pm, so do come along a little early to meet and greet! At 7.30pm there will be a short act of worship to launch the evening. Then the speaker will introduce their subject. We will divide into groups for discussion of topics raised by the speaker for about 20 minutes, then come back together for questions and comments before closing with worship. Each session will end by 9pm.
