This is a very personal question to which there is not just one correct answer! Christians choose different styles of worship according to their tastes but it is likely that, in their own words, their answers would cover the same points.

Some may simply say that it is the only time of the week they can get away from the people around them for some peace, perhaps to reflect. Others may admit their weaknesses and see worship as a time to say sorry to God, to seek guidance and to recharge their spiritual batteries amongst people of a like mind.

At St. Mark's, people like the way the service just flows, aided by the high quality music and the ritual supported by the serving team. The sermons tend to be thought provoking and spiritually uplifting . . . and not a time for dozing! The high Anglican Catholic tradition lays great emphasis on the sacraments (each person taking the bread and wine as the body and blood of Jesus Christ).

A friendly atmosphere supportive of all is an important aim of the St. Mark's family. We definitely do not know all the answers, but we strive to strengthen our faith and leave our concerns with God, trying to get our heads round the fact that Jesus died on the cross so that OUR wrongdoing may be forgiven. If you do not worship at St. Mark's, why not give it a try?
