Return to 9.30am Service
The previous 9.15 start time trial has not worked out. Tim has tirelessly tried to find a solution to this unfortunate situation which we thank him for and empathise with him over what should have been sorted long before his arrival.
Tim is going to be at St Martin’s from 9.00am and tea and coffee will be available for all who wish to have a chat with him before the service. The choir and streaming of the service will resume next Sunday.
Please let anyone know who may not be aware of the change.

Fresh Starts
Revd: Tim Ferguson
The mood of the country is hard to sum up, with a new government voted in with one of the lowest turnouts in recent times.
