Parish News/Diary/Special Notices
Thank you to everyone who is encouraging and reaching out to other members of the congregation through Night Prayer, Lectio Divina, baking workshops, being Faith Companions, helping with groceries, and many other ways. Together we are discovering new forms of life.
Clergy contact. In situations of bereavement or emergencies relating to physical or mental health over the lockdown, a member of the clergy can be contacted by texting 07910 652573 or 07761 661529; one of the clergy team will call you back.
Keep our Doors Open. For the first time in our history Covid-19 has forced us to close our buildings, but our vital work within the community and beyond simply must continue. St Martin’s has always been more than simply a parish church, striving to be a sanctuary for worshippers and also provide social justice for marginalised communities and people experiencing homelessness. Today, we continue to support those most vulnerable, launching the nationwide Covid-19 Emergency Fund, whilst The Connection work round the clock supporting people during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Our all-year-round schedule of concerts and events, along with our cafe and shop, have long provided a cultural centre for London and helped to support our social care work. But now, with no music in our buildings, our vital work and our church is lacking the support it once had. Please send your gift today to help us continue our work and ensure that, when it’s safe to do so, we can open our doors once more.
