As part of our APCM (that’s the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, if you didn’t know but were too afraid to ask!), we’ve put together a video version too. Where so much of the past twelve months was turned upside down and went online because of pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, it felt especially right to be able to recollect on what we’ve achieved in the past year.
Today, and it’s all from St Mark’s – as we celebrate St Mark and our patronal festival! A chance to look back over the last year as our sermon today gives way to a look at all we’ve achieved with our friends at St Thomas over the past twelve months.
Notices for the 24th April, the weekend of our patronal festival.
As the Covid-19 pandemic closed our church buildings through lockdown, we were able to continue providing services through live streaming. As we come back into the building together, we hope to improve this offering – but need your help to do more!
Today, St Thomas lead and our focus is on bearing witness. St Mark’s bring the sermon, prayers and music, with our BCM worship team members taking the reigns for our talk and intercessions today.
Notices for Saturday 17th April, with details of our upcoming services and events.
As restrictions imposed to keep us all safe from the risk of Covid-19 across the country are slowly relaxed, we’ve been reviewing how we can better offer Communion during a service too.

As we enter the Easter period, we continue our celebration of the risen Lord – and today, St Mark’s lead and St Thomas bring the sermon, prayers and music.
