This week was another Question Sunday at St Mary’s- a fantastic opportunity for our parishioners to anonymously ask some of the difficult questions that we have about aspects of our faith.

Marcus Allport answered the first question:-
“Jesus has promised eternal life to all who believe in Him. What happens to those who don’t believe in Him? What happens to us after death?”
