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 ! Since 6th September, we hold a service in St Marc’s and at the same time, people can connect to it by zoom !

We will hold an “all age” Sunday school in St Marc’s, and Parents who wish to stay at home and follow the service by zoom will be sent the video of the week, for their children to watch! 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, Clifford Owen and Nick Finlay.
