Mission
Mission is our work in the world. Jesus gives His followers specific directions to follow after they have affirmed their faith. "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Jesus calls all His followers to act and share the Good News of salvation throughout the world. This Great Commission then is the beginning of faith in action for all Christians - read on to discover how St Mary's and its members are active in mission both in Haddenham and further afield.
Cafeplus+
Caféplus+ is a breakfast Café, open once a month on a first Sunday morning from 9:30am to 12:00pm in Haddenham Village Hall. The main aim is to help to bring the church into the community and at the same time help the community to discover church.
