Thanks to all who gathered on St Mark's Day for our special outdoor service, during which we buried a time capsule. Here's hoping that some of you are there to see it dug up in 50 years time!
Don't forget that next Saturday (8th) is Forest Church, on Zoom at 10am. Keep an eye on Facebook and the website for further details and packs will be available outside church shortly. Please contact Jackie for further information.
There is also going to be a Little Mark’s sunflower challenge starting with Forest Church next weekend - hopefully to raise some funds for St Mark’s - look out for the showstopper sunflowers at Dolphinholme Village Show!
