Christ's Love in the Heart of the Community

 

We warmly invite you to join us at St Mary's. You will be struck by the diversity of our community, which is a rich mixture of people of all ages, cultures and from different walks of life. The church is fully inclusive and no matter what your background, history or current understanding of the Christian faith, you are warmly invited. The best way to get to know us is to join us on Sunday at one of our meetings or turn up to any of the activities going on.

St. Mary Magdalene church is part of the Church of England and is located in Addiscombe on the eastern outskirts of Croydon. The parish, 'St. Mary Magdalene with St. Martin', which was formed as a result of an amalgamation with a neighbouring parish in the 1990s, is in the Central Croydon Deanery and part of the Croydon Area within the Diocese of Southwark.

A copy of the Parish Profile is available for you to download. It contains lots of useful information about St Mary's and the associated Parish.

 

Come and See

When Jesus walked the earth in northern Galilee he caused a massive stir. Opinions about him quickly grew and the word on the street was "Come and see.." One person telling others they had seen Jesus and his works, and inviting them to "come and see" too. When he was asked deep and anxious questions by those who heard him speak and saw him work Jesus was heard to respond "Come and See". It was by choosing to follow him that people's questions and anxieties were satisfied and put to rest. That’s what we would like to say to you "Come and See".

So we hope that in this busy and complex life you will find space at St Mary’s to be still and to pray, to ask questions and to be heard, to pursue and to find, to worship and to serve.

As Lent and then Easter are getting nearer you are very welcome to 'come and see who Jesus is', what it means to know him and to be part of his band of followers.
