The website has been updated today to include information about:
- The Great Whitby Cleanup
- Champion's Challenge July School Holiday programme
- 40 Days of Community Finale: Celebration Sunday - 22nd June
- Whitby Churches' Joint Worship - 29th June at 10am
While the weather was indifferent, a large crowd (about 200) of Whitby-ites was not deterred from turning up to canvass Whitby for rubbish last Saturday afternoon. The "Great Whitby Cleanup" was organised as part of the St Mary's 40 Days of Community campaign.

The End Result
Wednesday 30th May
This weekend we reach the mid point of our 40 Days of Community Campaign.
Over 75 people, including our children have been participating in Sunday services, in mid week small groups and in outreach activities - one of the home groups last night made lunches for several people as a gift.
Next Saturday (1pm) our major outreach event - the 'Great Whitby Cleanup' will involve over 300 people from the community who will collect rubbish as a World Environment Day effort. This event, organised by St Mary's, will conclude with the planting of a Kowhai Tree, the burying of a time capsule and a barbeque.
Interested?
Just turn up at St Mary's by 1pm and be blessed!
