Great gospel concert on the ocean front at Marigot.
Special Events “Opening the doors…” Church services at St Martin’s resumed on Sunday 30 September, when we celebrated the return to our renewed church building with a Thanksgiving Parish Eucharist.
There is a lot to see and rejoice in on our return – a complete redecoration, reordered sanctuary, new side windows made from hand-blown clear glass, and restored and renovated pews and panelling – it looks stunning! However, the project is not yet complete and lots of work remains to be done around other parts of the site. That means scaffolding and hoarding will still surround the entrances - but don’t mind that - come and join in thanksgiving for the completion of the first phase in the Renewal of St Martin’s!
Lent, Holy Week and Easter at St Martin’s Our Lent theme this year is Prophecy, Passion and Prosperity.
