We are in unprecedented times, and we are all trying to adjust to the new situation in which we find ourselves.
Notices from St Mark’s for the 29th March
March and we’re looking towards Easter – and plans are afoot to decorate our hedge for the season!
Knitted and crocheted flowers in response to COVID-19 – the first part of our Easter display along the hedge of St Mark’s, which – in response to the escalating situation with the Coronavirus pandemic – has a clear message for the village of Pennington. Physically separated, we’re still united in spirit and under the loving grace of God.

As St Mark’s #LiveLent, today we focus on water. Central to all life on Earth but we know also that Jesus is a spiritual life through water – a living water – for humanity: through whom we shall never thirst.
Nicodemus ‘came to Jesus by night’: the night and darkness bring fears: for nothing to do we pray the Evening Collect. Some have said that Nicodemus was hiding in the darkness. By day Nicodemus knows who he is. He has an identity. He is a Pharisee. He has a role and a reputation as a leader of the Jews. He is ‘Israel’s teacher’. But by night Nicodemus is confused: and so comes to Jesus to be illuminated.
