4th-17th March: One Small Step The Lichfield Cathedral moon installation comes on tour to Saint
Mary’s Last year in recognition of the anniversary of the moon landing, Lichfield Cathedral hosted a large-scale art installation by Artist Peter Walker enti-
tled ’One Small Step’. The interactive artwork was so
successful that the Cathedral is taking parts of
the large-scale piece on tour to selected churches in the Diocese of Lichfield. St Mary’s Church will host a section of the
‘One Small Step’ art installation this month. Anyone is welcome to visit the installation during the regular
opening hours, where people can walk on the moon, take a selfie #onesmallstep and take part in the
various activities on offer.
For our younger members Praise & Play—Wednesdays in St. Mary’s 10.30am to 11.30 am (from 8th January). 20 minutes of story, song and worship followed by refreshments and play. For pre-school children and their grown ups.

St Leonard’s Memorial Window To celebrate the completion of the major restoration work on the memorial window, we are holding a special re-dedication service at 4pm on the 1st March, attended by the Mayor of Stafford, preacher Rev’d Alison Thomas. Everyone is invited to come along and light a candle in memory of a loved one who is no longer with us; and to remember those from Marston Parish who fought and died for their country. You will also be able to meet Mr Robert Lamburn who carried out the restoration of this beautiful stained glass window.
St. John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital Group. We’ve now collected over £1200 to
help provide expert eye care in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem. This means we can sponsor four eye operations, bringing the gift of sight and improving life for some of the poorest people there. Thanks to everyone who’s supported the eye hospitals so far. If you would like to contribute to the appeal, you’ll find gift envelopes in the back of church. St. Mary’s One World Group.
