SAGES

What is SAGES?

Sages

SAGES is a monthly morning for the Senior Ages, run by Avril Horton, Veronica Lockett and Eileen Knight, providing a great opportunity for getting to know those of a similar age over a cup of coffee or tea, and a cake or two.

This is followed by a talk or presentation of real interest to our age-group and we usually conclude with a brief thought and prayer. SAGES is open to all including members of St Mary’s. You will find a warm welcome from the 40-50 men and women who regularly attend.

Where and when does SAGES meet?

We meet at The Christian Centre on Aylesbury Road from 10.15am – 11.45am on the third Thursday of the month – except during August.
