Christmas Angels at St Mark’s

Angels have flown into St Mark’s to declare the glad tidings of great joy at the heart of Christmas – that God is here among us.

The angels were invited in by our Thursday Coffee and Art at St Mark’s group. The group meets on the first and third Thursday of the month at 10.30am in the church community centre.

Each month there is a different theme and people of all ages and all artistic abilities (or none) are welcome. Tea, coffee and cake are all served.

The angels will be there for all our Christmas services. At St Mark’s these are:

Friday, December 8th, 6pm: Carol Service.
Sunday, December 10th, 11am: Christingle.
Thursday, December 21st, 6pm: The Longest Night; When Christmas Hurts.
Christmas Eve, 5pm: Crib Service.
Christmas Day, 11am: Christmas Day Communion for all ages.

There will be a special Kitty Milroy Matins at St Mark’s on New Year’s Eve at 11am.

A Kitty Milroy Matins

On New Year’s Eve, join us at St Mark’s at 11am for a Kitty Milroy Matins – a service of morning prayer which Kitty Milroy would have recognised.

Kitty Milroy, the artist who painted the murals in St Mark’s, lived between November 8th, 1885 and November 8th, 1966, and worked on the murals between 1911 and 1920. As a regular churchgoer, she would have been familiar with Matins, or Morning Prayer as it is now usually known. It is a service without communion and is a mixture of prayers, psalms and readings.

The service will include a mix of old and modern language and will include the Benedicite, a hymn of praise on which the murals are based.

Everyone is welcome.
