Parish Men’s Group
The parish has an active men’s group which includes many men from other churches around Bury.
We have four-weekly breakfasts in The Pilgrim’s Kitchen at 8.00am with full English breakfast. There is plenty of parking. After a Bible thought by one of our members, we enjoy a talk emphasising the speaker’s personal walk with our Lord. This is followed by any questions. Some 25 to 30 men are present.
We also have four-weekly Bible study discussion breakfasts in a home.
There is a weekly lunch on Tuesdays at The Greene King Beer Café at 12.15pm and other activities.
We organise parish walks with a pub lunch on Saturdays from March to October.
For further information, contact Trevor Ashton 01284 701015 or Edward Coningsby 07503 732782.
The dates for the breakfasts, walks and study breakfasts are in the parish diary.
St Mary's and St Peter's Men's Weekend Away
For the first time we are holding a weekend away at the beautiful Pleshey in Essex for men of all ages and we want to encourage you to think and pray about whether you could come along. It's an investment of time and money but these times away can be key moments in our walk with God, and it's wonderful to have Malcolm Rogers our former Vicar to speak on prayer along with some men from his current churches. We need people to sign up soon so please don't delay if you are considering it.
Where: The Diocesan House of Retreat, The Street, Pleshey Chelmsford CM3 1HA
When: Friday 27 – 29 November 2026
Leader: Malcolm Rogers
Subject: Learning to Pray
More details about the cost and possible timetable for the weekend may be found here.
