CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
Please let Nick or the churchwardens know if you are in need of help in any way. There is a St Mark's contact list of volunteers who are happy to shop, collect medication, walk a dog or have a chat over the phone - you only have to ask! Call Nick on 0118 9303595 or Carol on 0118 9303182 or Torquil on 0118 9713761 and they will put you in touch with someone who can help.
Sunday worship is continuing every week with Sunday Club at 10.00am and the main service at 10.45am and you can join either or both of these on your computer or tablet or by dialling in on your phone. If you would like to do this please send an email with your contact details to office@stmarksenglefield.org.uk giving your permission to be added to the list.
Confronted with the pandemic, we are prompted to ask, 'where is God in a coronavirus world?' You may find help and hope in a book of that title by Professor John Lennox (£2.54, The Good Book Company). Faced by perplexing and painful questions, many are prompted to pray but are uncertain how or what to pray and, in this unsettling situation, we are using a book entitled '5 Things to Pray in a Global Crisis' by Rachel Jones as the basis for our current sermon series which started on June 7th. You can order this from www.eden.co.uk or 0800 612 2186 (£2.79). For more information contact Nick Wynne-Jones.
We hope very much that the church will be able to reopen at some point soon but meanwhile we will continue to monitor the situation and further updates will be posted here as they come available.

The lack of church services has inevitably impacted on the income of St Mark's and we would be so grateful if you could take the time to read the letter here which explains the situation and how to help. Alternatively you can use this link to give via the church's justgiving page:
