This page will give you the bible passages for this week, some sermon notes, and links to songs on YouTube ! Click on links to read the passages, or hear the songs ! Until we decide to return to St Marc’s, every Sunday we meet via zoom so that we can all worship and pray together. The meeting is open from 10:35 onwards to allow people time to connect.

Before our online service, every Sunday at 10:10 we will have a Kid’s slot reserved for them via zoom. You can also find some fun resources for children on our “Kid’s corner” page !

Since the epidemic, no locum has been able to come to us, but they have all accepted to preach for us online ! Our heartfelt thanks to John Dinnen, Ben Johnson-Frow, Michael Selman, Chris Martin and Clifford Owen ! We are praying to be able to resume our services in St Marc’s in September, with Stuart Bell !
