During lent this year we will be taking a closer look at the Gospel of Mark, the Gospel set for this year. Throughout Lent and after Easter there will be different kinds of groups and events to join to really get to know this Gospel. What is distinctive about Mark? What is its relevance for today? We invite you to get involved and discover the riches of Mark’s Gospel.

Our book for Lent will be ‘Meeting God in Mark’ by Rowan Williams. Please speak to Reverend Trin or Mother Helen if you would like to know more.

We start Advent with Compline on Sunday 3 and 10 December at 7:30pm. This is a short reflective service of night prayer with some music. A perfect opportunity to snatch some stillness and quiet in the busiest of seasons. 

For those younger parishioners looking for more noise and crafts, join us at 4:30pm  on 3rd December for St Nicholas Workshop and a short service at which we will enthrone our new child bishop.
