Sunday Services

We are now able to resume services in Church, subject to social distancing requirements and, for the moment, no congregational singing. Please ensure you disperse promptly after the service and take care when talking outside.

Please see these guidelines about face masks.

The recorded services are available on the Sunday Services page.

The Church building remains open for private prayer.

Welcome to St Mary's Overton

We are a lively Anglican church for the whole village of Overton.
The church is made up of people at all stages on the faith journey and all ages and backgrounds.

There are good facilities for children and young people to enjoy their own activities. We make good use of our modern Church Rooms with midweek groups running for children and the local community.

Rev’d James Russell

Social Art and Craft Group

Many people find the process of being creative both mindful and relaxing. The concentration required to draw, paint and do craft activities focuses the attention in the present moment and allows worries and anxieties to take a back seat for a while.

From 20 May, there will be a social group who do art and craft (as opposed to an art class or group of expert artists) to which all are welcome. This is in the church hall on Thursday mornings 11 am till 1pm starting on 20th May for 10 weeks until 22nd July 2021. The Covid regulations allow the use of our church rooms for up to 15 people from 20th May. If you are interested in coming along let me know, Mo Hilton 770886, welcome@stmarysoverton.org.uk .
