Events & Activities held in the week at St Margaret’s Church

We believe that being part of St Margaret’s church family involves more than just Sunday services. There’s lots going on in the week to help you connect with God and enjoy the virtual presence of others. We are aiming to continue most activities on Zoom or teleconference during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

Daily Morning Prayer

Morning prayer is held at 9.30am on Monday – Thursdays via conference call. This simple service following DAILY PRAYER from the CofE (free app download) with three scripture readings and an opportunity to pray for God’s work in our Parish, local, national and global issues is a great way to start the day. If you would like to join us click zoom. This informal time of prayer finishes by 10am.

Life Groups

Jesus spent 3 years doing life with His disciples in order to prepare them for living in the world as His followers. Our life groups are intended to equip people for living as Christians today. We study the bible together, pray for one another and offer pastoral support in times of need. During COVID- 19 pandemic the St Margaret’s Tuesday evenings group will be meeting on Zoom at 7pm.
