Even during the pandemic we have events taking place in our vibrant village. You can add an event here.
Sunday 14th February
Take Heart!, Mayfield Church. An interactive walk around Mayfield Churchyard, to think about our love for those we love, their love for us, and above all a Love which is personal and inexhaustible. Like the Scavenger Hunt and the Walk of Encouragement, this will be designed with the national lockdown and Covid-19 regs in mind, and there'll be reminders about how to take part safely. Come and enjoy it anytime from Sunday 14th Feb and through to and including Wednesday 17th. It's for all age groups, all genders, living alone or with others. You’ll find little knitted hearts on your walk around the churchyard to take home or move on to other places around the village, or to pass on to some one else. There will also be a Prayer Tree to write your own prayers, and a post box if you'd rather your prayers were not read by others. Your prayers on the tree will be brought into, and read, in our short 1045 morning service on 21st Feb, and at the service on Zoom before that, at 9.30 (Let me know if you’d like joining details. Both of these are weekly events). Please come and enjoy! Bring a prayer, and take (a) heart!

Updating the MRA Playground.
Marna and the MRA are raising money to fund a new playground for the children of Mayfield. The playground here is desperately in need of an overhaul and we want to give our children an outdoor play area they will love.
Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. Even if you only donate £1 it will show support and help with grant applications
Your chance to be able to say "I helped that happen" and to feel a sense of pride in the new playground.
