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.

Over the past few years this part of our church structure has lapsed a bit and it would be good to have it back. If you’re interested in getting involved, please see Linda and a rota can then be prepared.
