Lymington Market

Fundraising at the Lymington Market Stall this Bank Holiday Saturday, raised £74.60, and the tombola, and glass Jewellery table at the Wheel Inn, also on Bank Holiday Saturday, raised together £134.00.

The proceeds will help in the general funding towards the running of St Mark’s Church: a big “Thank You” to all who took part for all your efforts.

Weekly Envelope Donors or Children’s Society Box Holders?

Please find that there are important letters at the back of church for you to collect.

Commitment to St Mark’s

It currently costs us about £6000 per month to sustain the work of this church. Our fundraising, giving and income only covers £5,000. Please consider joining our Parish Giving Scheme, making a regular commitment even if it’s just a few pounds, it really makes a difference to our work here. Please speak to Teresa or Maureen if you would like to consider this step.

Pilgrim: the Lords Prayer

How well do you understand the Lord’s Prayer? We say it so often: what does it mean to us? We will be looking at this in our next series of the Pilgrim course, with fortnightly daytime sessions starting on 3rd June at 11:00am Mondays, in St Mark’s room – and evening sessions running on Wednesdays from 7pm! All welcome.

A community music group for people with dementia along with their carers meet at Boldre Memorial Hall on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, from 10am for opening refreshments and from 10:30 to 11:30am for music.
