We are a Christ centred community at the centre of our village with a wide variety of people of all ages and experiences of life. We are excited about helping people discover the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ, growing in relationship with God, and serving him right where we are. We hope you will come and visit us and explore faith for yourself. We would love to help and encourage you in that journey.
Increasing Our Faith
We want to go deeper with God. In worship, in prayer and in nurturing the scared centre of our lives.
Going Deeper
A Vibrant Christian Community
We want to be a vibrant Christian community, where all are welcomed. We want to be a place where we can share our joys and our sorrows, and everyone's gifts are recognised and shared. A place where people feel a sense of belonging.
Christian Community

CHURCH SERVICES from November 5th
Following Government's second National Lockdown and Church of England advice, we are sad to announce that there will be NO in -church services during the period of lockdown. St Mary's will continue to stream all services on our Facebook Page ( @DatchetStMarys), which are also available afterwards on our You -Tube Channel link here: Bereavement Service You Tube
Our last in church service will be the 11am Eucharist on Wednesday 4th November
Remembrance Sunday Worship - Following the recent announcement of a second National Lockdown, there have been questions raised over whether Remembrance Services can still proceed: After much discussions within Parliament, there is approval but under certain specific restrictions. Therefore in St Mary's there will be a streamed service via Facebook and Youtube : the service will be pre recorded, with no public live attendance available at Remembrance (Facebook) and/or Remembrance You Tube
Bereavement Service - held Sunday 1st November is available to watch on our You tube channel link here: Bereavement Service
We will continue to
God bless you all.
