Welcome
We are the Church of England parish of St Mary’s Shaw cum Donnington – just to the north and east of Newbury.
Our purpose and focus is Knowing Jesus, Sharing God’s Love, Caring for People.
You can read more about it here.
We meet every Sunday at 10am, as well as at other times during the week.
Everyone is welcome to join us.
Word for the Week
- Teach us, O Lord
Some of the most effective stories we listen to and tell contain something that runs against what might be expected – something we may not notice at first take, but which makes us stop and think when we realise what it is.
Jesus’ parables are often like this – good stories that we can identify with and enjoy (and re-tell), but also stories that teach us things we could not learn any other way.
Jesus came to us for many reasons, one of which was to teach us.
It is good for us to sit at his feet, hear him speak, and learn from him.
If you have a chance before the service, do read Jesus’ parable in Luke 12:35 and ask yourself: what here was unex-pected. And then ask, What does this mean?
“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” Luke 14:35.
