The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, from Matthew 26:14-27:66. Performed by members of St Mark’s and St Thomas’ congregations, with the Bishop Debbie Sellin lending support as ‘Peter’ too!
Through Holy Week on Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th from 7pm we’re hosting Compline services and you’re welcome to join us through our YouTube channel! Working with St Thomas’ and the Bishop of Southampton, Debbie Sellin, St Mark’s will be hosting the first on Monday. All we need from you is some rubbish, and your Easter Garden – watch on to find out more…
Normally, we’d be handing out a Palm Cross for you to take away with you, at our Sunday services this weekend – unfortunately, due to the Coronavirus lockdown, we’re unable to see you in church. Instead, Rachel and Peter, from St Mark’s and St Thomas churches respectively, have some ideas as to how you can make your own for this Sunday!
A first for St Mark’s: service given from the upstairs spare bedroom of the vicarage (can we say an upper room?) Working with our neighbours at St Thomas’ in Lymington, Rachel talks about breathing, change – and her new pet caterpillars…
Our live streamed service from Sunday 22nd March
Our service from the 15th March, where we launched our first live streamed service!
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.
Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Today is St David’s Day – St David being the patron saint of Wales as well as for poets and vegetarians too! That evening we talked about who St David was, how he had a special skill to recover the sight of others, how some monks didn’t like him especially (to the point they tried to poison him!) – but how ultimately he could prove how through the small things, great changes can occur.
How are St Mark’s marking Lent this year? In sixty seconds, Rachel explains how it starts – with light.
Our focus today as we start Lent is on the ash in Ash Wednesday. What is the significance of ashing? Why does it matter that we adorn ourselves in an ash cross? And how can we reflect our faith in Christ with more than a mark on our skin for others to see in the weeks to come?
