St Marks Church Utley. Serving Christ, one another and the world

9 O'Clock - A More Traditional Service

The format of this service is the most traditional of the services at St Mark’s, and we tend to follow Common Worship more closely than others. It is true that the congregation is generally more mature (but not exclusively so), but don’t let that fool you.

We are a very supportive of one another and have a strong sense of community. Outside of Sunday service we do arrange meals together; outings including picnics; at homes; BBQs, and in 2010 we booked a week-end away in a Christian hotel in Cumbria. This was the third time we’d been there and it was a relaxing time of friendship and fun with some 40 or so people. As before we took over the whole hotel. We have made another booking for May 2012.

In our services during 2011, we will be looking at some more contemporary and contentious issues which impact on all our lives from marriage and divorce; to green issues and euthanasia as well as specific books of the Bible.

We have a number of housegroups which provide an opportunity for fellowship and study. These meet most weeks.
