to the website of St. Mary's, Gillingham. We hope this web-site will tell you more about the worship, fellowship, mission and ministry of our parish. If you are not a member of St. Mary's we hope we may be able to welcome you at St. Mary's for a visit, to worship with us or join us.
Visit this site often because the information is constantly being updated, and news added.
This site is in the process of being built so many pages do not yet exist - if you can't find what you are looking for please contact us.
We hope this site will be of use or interest to a number of groups:
- visitors to the town,
- members of St. Mary's,
- other locals who would like to know more about their parish church,
- those with past links to the town or church.
If there is something you think would be useful to have on this site which we don't (and no apparent plans to) please let the webmaster know.
To make it useful to all we will be seeking to avoid or explain "jargon". This aspect has yet to be developed; if you see words you would like explained suggest them to the webmaster.
We hope the menus - both top and side - and sitemap will enable you to find that of interest to you (if you have difficulty, others probably will too so please spare a moment to let the webmaster know so she can improve the structure).
