This Sunday

Holy Communion with children

This week we are trying out ways we could better include younger members in worship. There won't be a sermon (in English or Farsi!) but there will be a craft activity or a simple meditation.


All the words will be on a screen. So, if you're joining from home, find the presentation to follow along here:


Singing

We have decided we will have singing this week led by our new Team music group! All the words will be on the screen but we do ask that you only join in if you are wearing a mask. As this is an experimental Sunday, we won't go back to having singing every week just yet, but we will assess how it goes this week.

We will also have a 'non-singing' area designated for those who might be worried about this. This will be on the left side of the church (in the north aisle) please just ask the welcomers to direct you when you arrive.


Baptisms

During the service, we will also have the joy of baptising Catherine, Emily, and Rachel Lewis! Three much-loved young members of St Margaret's. Please pray for them and their family as they take this big step in their journey of faith with Jesus.

News

Covid-19 update


No doubt you will have heard that covid restrictions are being relaxed. As case rates are still high in our area you won't see too much change just yet! But we do have plans to reintroduce activities.

Most importantly - please get your vaccine if you haven't yet! And stay at home if you develop covid symptoms. Find vaccine times and locations here >

 

Reading and intercessions

Would you like to help us lead Sunday worship? Even if you haven't read in a service or led the prayers before, or if you are not sure but might be interested, then just let us know! We can do training and have a practice run with you so you can give it a go before committing. Speak with Chris or any of the clergy.
