In loving memory of The Queen

In loving memory of The Queen

St Mark’s Church is open for prayer and reflection, and there is an opportunity to light a candle.  You are also welcome to leave a message of condolence, a lasting memorial for future generations.

St Mark’s Church open Saturday 10th September 10am – 7pm.

Sunday the church will be open from 8am – 7pm, with our church services taking place. Our 11am Choral Eucharist will be our focus in remembering HM Queen Elizabeth.

During the week St Mark’s will remain open from 10am – 7pm.

The Queen has been a beacon of hope, faith and unity in our country and throughout the world; a constant in the midst of so much change.  As we navigate this period of sadness as we mourn the loss of HM The Queen we are also full of thanksgiving for the life of service and love she gave to our country and to us.

A Prayer as we remember and look forward

God of love,                                                                                                                                                            We thank you for the life of The Queen,                                                                                                      for her service to our nation,                                                                                                                            and for her faith in you.                                                                                                                                      Be close to all of us who mourn,                                                                                                                      that we may we find comfort and hope in your love,                                                                              through Jesus Christ our Lord.
