At the start of this second week of Lent we start to walk with Jesus towards his Passion, and we ask what taking up our cross might mean for us. ‘If any want to become my disciples, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.’ Mark 8. 34b)

Today, as we see Jesus emerging as a spiritual figure of great authority, we pray that we may be able to recognise authentic leadership and discern when authority is God-given and when it is serving selfish ends. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. (Mark 1.22)

Today we ask what the Gospel’s new beginning means for us as we hear the good news afresh at the start of our new church year. ‘The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.’ (Mark 1.1)

Today we think about what it means to be forgiven and to forgive. This is not just a spiritual matter but affects our lives as Christians in the world and the relationships between nations of the global north and south. In God’s Kingdom, slavery and debt are wiped out by compassion and we are accountable for showing to others the mercy that has been shown to us.

In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us of our need to receive the people whom God sends to us. If we are open to what they bring to us, we will be blessed. Let us then open our hearts to God and seek to be receptive as we worship today.

We come together in gratitude; grateful that our loving heavenly Father did not wait for us to be perfect before reaching out to us. Today we are reminded that God wants us to show that same compassion and reach out to others in grace and love

Rev Robert Chambers
The common theme to all our readings today is relationships – in the Old Testament, God's relationship with creation, and in the New Testament our relationship with each other in the life of the early church. And our gospel show Jesus commissioning the disciples and setting the scene for our relationship with him forever.

Planning your Visit

Services at Church

St Margaret's offers two services in the Church each week. These take place on:

  • Wednesday Evenings 7pm - 7.30pm (with communion)
  • Sunday Mornings 11.30am - 12.30pm (with communion)

Services online


St Margaret's streams our Sunday Services to our YouTube Channel. This means you can watch the service live between 11.30am and 12.30pm or later that same week. We also publish the Weekly Pew Sheet and Weekly Intercession Sheet which allows you to follow the Service readings from wherever you are. 
 

Zoom Church

Our Wednesday evening service is both in person and streamed via Zoom

Morning Prayer


Most weeks Monday to Friday,  Rev Dr Lisa Curtice leads Morning Prayer live online from 9am. You can follow morning prayer via our YouTube Channel
 

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a warm welcome particularly from our Stewards who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. 

For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins.

Our services include time for reflection, singing, prayers, Bible readings and a sermon. Our weekly readings and service content are published on a Saturday afternoon in our Weekly Pew Sheet.   

On Sunday's after the service, we serve tea, coffee and biscuits (or cake!) This is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access which is via a ramp to the side of the Church. When you arrive on the grounds, someone will direct you. There is also a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one the steward know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. 

There is also a disabled toilet in the hall which is accessible from the Church.

What happens to the kids at church?

At St Margaret's we love to see children come along to church and we do have a small number of children who come along on a Sunday morning. We have dedicated kids section in the church where there is a bit more room for them to roam and some toys, books and colouring sheets to keep them entertained if the are not enjoying the Sermon!

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in clothes that make you feel comfortable.   

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.

 
If you would like to come and visit the church beforehand you are more than welcome! Get in touch and we can arrange a time that suits you.
