Church Life/If you are joining us in the building please bring a face covering with you (unless exempt) and follow the social distancing measures outlined as your enter. We will continue to live-stream services online. For live-stream services please use our Facebook page or St Martin’s Digital.
After the 10am service today, 27 June, is our community’s opportunity to say farewell to Allyson Hargreaves, after 34 years working for St Martin’s, the last nine as Executive Director of St Martin-in-the-Fields Ltd. The 10am service will be as usual, but immediately after the service at around 11.10am, while people are still seated in church and in a new livestream still on the SMITF Facebook page, there will be remarks and a presentation to Ally. Then at around 11.35am for those in the building festivities will move outside into the Courtyard Café for a glass of wine and some cake. Do come and say thank you and goodbye to Ally – whether for the service, the presentation, or the party on site (or raise a glass in your own home!) – or all three.
