St Mary's Church, Bures The Village Bures is a rural village of about 3000 inhabitants, situated in the east of England between the small market town of Sudbury and the larger town of Colchester. The people of the village come from all sorts of backgrounds, but generally the community is a fairly prosperous one, with some farming families, and many professional earners of whom quite a number commute to London. Our churches St Mary's Bures is one of three churches which make up our benefice and occupies an old 14th century building in the centre of the village. It has been well maintained, and there have been alterations to the tower to make rooms for Young Church groups, meetings, crèche, etc. We have three Sunday services, of which the largest is at 10.30 a.m. and follows a variety of styles. The music is provided either by an organ with choir or by a music group - or both. Throughout the week there are also morning meetings, mother and baby days and many other events.

Whilst the congregation in Bures is
active and growing, the mission of the church is to all people. In
this troubled world we are constantly considering ways of making
our prayer, worship, study and service more effective and relevant
— to help us all understand better the love of God and his call
to follow.
We hope to broaden the activities of those already in church, with more people involved in home groups and prayer groups, in teaching and leading worship, in visiting and prayer for healing. Please
browse our website to discover what’s happening in our church. Robin King, Vicar
