Throughout Covid, a lot have churches have struggled to maintain a regular congregation and St Mark's is no different. Unfortunately, the Pariochial Church Council have decided that the frequency of our services will be reduced from weekly to monthly. Starting 6th December 2020, St Mark's will be offering a Eucharist service on the first Sunday of the month at 10.30am. This will be the only Sunday service held at St Mark's throughout the month. Anyone who would like to attend a weekly service outside of the above are welcome to attend a Eucharist service at the Halifax Minster.
Even though we aren't physically holding services, there are virtual services happening across the diocese of Leeds for those who want to <span style="font-size: 1rem;">be involved in a service. These can be found at https://www.leeds.anglican.org/covid-19/live-streaming</span><span style="font-size: 1rem;">Services are also streamed on the Church of England website found at https://www.churchofengland.org/more/media-centre/church-online</span>Our Facebook page is updated regularly with prayers and reflections. Occasionally we will stream a pre-recorded service. Information will be posted on our page when this will be happening. You don't need to have an account to access our page, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/stmarkssiddal/BBC one <span style="font-size: 1rem;">share a service on a Sunday morning at 10.45am. Radio Four also have a Sunday worship service at 8.10am. </span>
Following guidelines released from The Church of England, St Marks will be suspending all Sunday services until further notice. Belrobics on Monday evenings (6.30-7.30pm), Lent Bible study on Monday evenings (7.45-9pm) and Craft and Natter on Wednesdays (1-3pm) are also suspended.
