As we contemplate Christ's Passion during Lent and Holy Week, we once again have the privilege of taking part (either by our presence or our prayers) in three free public Lent Concerts in the beautiful baroque Chapel of the Queen's College, Oxford. For St Mary Magdalen's, the concerts also offer the opportunity to hear Michael Lowe playing his the orbo and choir members Nancy-Jane Rucker and Benjamin Thompson singing Allegri's Miserere.
 

On Saturday 9th March Christian Aid are organizing a sponsored abseil from our church tower. There are six participants from Mary Mags so far signed up: Fr Richard, Nigel, Esther, Ella-Mae, Will, and Fergus.
Please sponsor one or all of them. The church will be open during the day from 10am, tea and coffee will be available and there will be a sale of books and other goods in aid of St Mary Magdalen's Please come along.

The Mass of the Lord's Supper begins at 7.30pm, and the watch of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament will continue until midnight.

The Electoral Roll is a legal membership roll of a parish church. It is made up of the names of baptised people over the age of sixteen who are resident in the parish, or who regularly attend that particular church. Every few years, we are required to remake the electoral roll from scratch, which means that everyone who wishes to have their name entered will need to fill in a form to this effect. We will be distributing forms and reminding people of the need to return them during the spring - the process will begin towards the end of February.
