Sunday the 21st March is the fifth Sunday of Lent and is also known as Passion Sunday. For our 10am service it’s St Thomas who are leading as today Peter is …going for a walk?
Sunday the 14th March is the fourth Sunday of Lent but it’s also Mothering Sunday – we hope you’re going to treat your mum to something special! For our 10am service it’s St Mark’s leading as today we focus on cathedrals (and Mums!)
Sunday the 7th March is the third Sunday of Lent and for our 10am service it’s St Thomas taking a lead as today we focus on creativity in prayer with St Mark’s throwing out a few ideas!
Sunday the 28th February is the Second Sunday of Lent and for our 10am service it’s Paul and Eve – BCM Worship and Creation Care – who are taking the lead with a focus on fair trade. How we shop makes a difference – a cheap deal for us can mean continued poverty for others and detrimental climate change for us all!
Sunday the 21st February is the First Sunday of Lent and for our 10am service it’s St Thomas who are taking the lead with a focus on fasting …and over to St Mark’s to talk about food in prayers! Today George Kidner, taking part in the Bishops Permission to Preach, brings the sermon.
Wednesday 17th February is Ash Wednesday and St Mark’s and St Thomas churches come together for a 6pm service of ashing. Ash Wednesday focuses the Christian’s heart on repentance and prayer, through personal and communal confession.
Sunday the 14th February is Valentines Day, so we hope you’ve given your significant other (or the one you would like to be your significant other!) a gift! It’s also the First Sunday before Lent and for our 10am service it’s St Mark’s who are taking the lead with a focus on study, over to St Thomas to provide the music and prayers – and today Linda Lee, Lymington hospital chaplain brings the sermon.
With Ash Wednesday nearly upon us, the start of Lent is not far behind. As we are unable to meet in the building to remember the start of this important part of the Christian calendar together, you may still wish to ash yourself, during our shared online service with St Thomas and All Saints, Lymington – that will be going out at 6pm on the 17th February.
Sunday the 7th February is the Second Sunday before Lent and for our 10am service it’s St Thomas who taking the lead from the vicarage garden! It’s a mini-retreat of sorts as we look at spiritual growth, with St Mark’s to provide the music, prayers and sermon.
Sunday the 31st January is the fourth Sunday of Epiphany and for our 10am service it’s back to St Mark’s taking the lead with St Thomas’ to provide the music, prayers and sermon.
