From Saturday 19th December St Mary’s churchyard will be home to the Follow the Star: Nativity Trail.  Follow the stars through the churchyard and discover the nativity story, all in miniature!

Look closely under the trees and you will find tiny baby Jesus in the manger, the shepherds watching their sheep, a host of angels and the wise men following the star to Bethlehem.  Scan the QR code at each station to discover more about the Christmas story as you go along.  Visit at any time from the 20th or book in for our special launch day on Saturday 19th December.

 Nativity Trail Launch Day: Saturday 19th December

Join us on Saturday 19th December for our special trail launch day.  Book a slot to complete the trail on the Saturday and finish your visit with a complementary hot chocolate and star craft to take home.  Families will be able to visit safely in their family bubbles.  All welcome!  We would love to see you at St Mary’s!

More details about booking will be made available shortly.  In the meantime, do contact Anna and Katy at  families@stmaryssawston.org.uk for more information.

St Mary’s Prayer Tree

Do come and have a wander in the churchyard where you will find our prayer tree.  Feel free to leave a prayer on the prayer tree: you will find pens, material strips and hand sanitiser in a box on the prayer tree itself.

You might like to watch our video of Harvest Thanks, featuring some of the prayers left on the prayer tree during Harvest time.
