Rev Reuben James Preston
As we gather to worship, we recall that our acts of service go far beyond anything done in this place. Through praise, prayer and Communion we gain the energy and insight to accept Jesus’ commission to follow his own vocation to be a servant leader. “‘For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.’” Mark 10:45

In our worship today we listen to God’s instructions on how we should live together. When our relationships are governed by so many human laws, how do we discern what is right in God’s eyes? “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you.” Mark 10:5

Today we are invited to focus on the truth of our mortality and the truth of the eternal love in which we are held. As we do so, we are invited to consider how what we want might differ from what God wants for us. “They did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.” Mark 9:32

We come together to worship God with joy and praise, and to give thanks for God’s blessing in our lives. “Those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake… will save it.” Mark 8:35

For many of us, this weekend marks the end of the summer holidays or trips, and the start of a new terms is now back in our memory. We look today for God’s grace to be formed as God’s people, transformed from within, shine with God’s light in a troubled and troubling world. “You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.” Mark 7:8

We meet today to worship God, to hear Jesus’ life-giving teaching and to share his life-giving body and blood. “This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live for ever.” John 6:58

Jesus declares that he is the bread of life, which comes down from heaven to give eternal life to all who believe in him. And so, in the words of one of the psalms set for today, “let us exalt his name together”. “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.” John 6:51a

As we continue through these weeks following Trinity Sunday, we gather once again to worship God, who is our Creator, Redeemer and guiding Spirit. “The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her.” Mark 6:26

Planning your Visit

Services at Church

St Margaret's offers two services in the Church each week. These take place on:

  • Wednesday Evenings 7pm - 7.30pm (with communion)
  • Sunday Mornings 11.30am - 12.30pm (with communion)

Services online


St Margaret's streams our Sunday Services to our YouTube Channel. This means you can watch the service live between 11.30am and 12.30pm or later that same week. We also publish the Weekly Pew Sheet and Weekly Intercession Sheet which allows you to follow the Service readings from wherever you are. 
 

Zoom Church

Our Wednesday evening service is both in person and streamed via Zoom

Morning Prayer


Most weeks Monday to Friday,  Rev Dr Lisa Curtice leads Morning Prayer live online from 9am. You can follow morning prayer via our YouTube Channel
 

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a warm welcome particularly from our Stewards who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. 

For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins.

Our services include time for reflection, singing, prayers, Bible readings and a sermon. Our weekly readings and service content are published on a Saturday afternoon in our Weekly Pew Sheet.   

On Sunday's after the service, we serve tea, coffee and biscuits (or cake!) This is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access which is via a ramp to the side of the Church. When you arrive on the grounds, someone will direct you. There is also a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one the steward know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. 

There is also a disabled toilet in the hall which is accessible from the Church.

What happens to the kids at church?

At St Margaret's we love to see children come along to church and we do have a small number of children who come along on a Sunday morning. We have dedicated kids section in the church where there is a bit more room for them to roam and some toys, books and colouring sheets to keep them entertained if the are not enjoying the Sermon!

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in clothes that make you feel comfortable.   

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.

 
If you would like to come and visit the church beforehand you are more than welcome! Get in touch and we can arrange a time that suits you.
