Our newest BCM candidate, Jane, leads from the lady chapel at St Mark’s today, whilst St Thomas bring the music, sermon and prayers. Today, we think about a prayerful community – as we look forward to Thy Kingdom Come.
The Pascal candle is a symbol of Jesus light, here on Earth. George talks on Ascension Day about the meaning of the candle – and how it’s extinguishing means we must carry the light instead. The ascension marks the end of one story – but the start of another: the birth of the Christian church, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Remaining mostly dry, Peter leads from the vicarage garden in Lymington – whilst St Mark’s bring the sermon and prayers. Today, we think about a fundamental truth from Jesus last supper with his followers: friendship is key.
We’re leading once more from St Mark’s, where one of our BCM Worship team tie together the hymns, prayer and sermon from our friends at St Thomas. Our focus today is on a Jesus centred community – as Peter gets to task on vines in the vicarage!
Our APCM is coming up in a special service of evening prayer at 6pm on the 9th May. download the APCM report ahead of this from here – and find out what St Mark’s have been up to in the past twelve months!
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.
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.
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.
We’ve reached the end of Lent and from the lows of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, we’ve reached Easter day. For our 10am service, St Thomas lead and St Mark’s bring the music, prayers and sermon.
