Who we are
St. Mark’s is a welcoming congregation with an enthusiasm for singing and worship. Music is provided by a fellowship of regular players, centring on the electric piano and assisted by a selection of other instruments. The style of hymns is both traditional and modern. Preachers are mainly from the ministry and the team of Local Preachers within the Parish, although visiting preachers may occasionally lead our worship.
Worship at St Mark’s uses a variety of services including those of the Methodist, Church of England (Anglican), and United Reformed Church. We have a monthly communion service, baptisms, family and morning worship services. All the words for our service are projected onto a screen to make it easy to follow. We can cater for a variety of needs, if we know in advance, including large print paper copies and coloured service sheets if you would find them easier to use. We sometimes have videos or music played during the service and there is usually a time dedicated to all-ages on the theme of the service during each service. There are always activities at the back of church behind the seating area for children. This includes toys, paper worksheets and, depending on the service, an activity for children to engage in.
We would like to get to know you a little bit better so whether you are just visiting or hoping to join us please stay for a drink after the service.

Leader Bio:
My husband Iain and I (and our cat Jack) were called to the parish of Hallwood in September 2012, a few weeks after we were married! I am originally from New Zealand and enjoy being in God’s beautiful and quiet places. I also enjoy creative activities. Before ordination I was a special needs teacher working mostly in Special Schools and Pupil Referral Units, and I have worked with people with intellectual and physical disabilities. Recently I have learned how to make cards, enjoy other craft activities and share those skills with other people. When I get the opportunity I enjoy developing creative multi-sensory services, courses and quiet days so people can meet with God in a way that is unique to them.
Iain and I have a heart to see God’s word shared, his love shown to all people, and the good news of Jesus Christ made real in people’s lives. We are blessed by having a home we can open up and share hospitality and God’s love with others. Our desire is to join in with those already working in the parish to become another set of hands and feet working together to do God’s will in this place.
Blessings and peace in the name of the risen Lord Jesus in whom we have our hope!

St Marks History
Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
