Blue Light Carol Service

St Martin Le Vieux
Church Lane La Rue de la Croix au Maitre St Martin, JE3 6HW, Jersey
The Blue Light Carol Service is to gather those from the Emergency response community, with a fun, informal, light-hearted carol service to honour and thank them before the busyness of the season, and the wrench away from families. There will be a healthy dose of competitive carol singing and we hope some laughter, with refreshments afterwards at the St Martin Public hall, parking is available in the St Martin Village Green Car Park, a short walk from St Martin's Church. Anyone who works/volunteers/related with the Honorary Police, States Police, Paramedics, Fire Service or waterborne emergency responders are most welcome

St Martin Le Vieux

Welcome to the St Martin Le Vieux, or St Martin the Old! The people of St Martin have been worshipping in this Parish Church for over 1000 years and we welcome you to join us.

Whether you are visiting to look around the Church or visiting us for a service you will find a peaceful Anglican church seeking to reflect God's love into our local community and to provide a warm welcome to all age groups.

The church of St. Martin Le Vieux stands at the central crossroads of the parish, and is always close to the heart of community life. Doors are open from around 8.30am - 4.30pm every day.

Our worship is mainstream Anglican, with a deep appreciation of contemplative spirituality. 

On a Sunday we meet together:

At 8am for a Quiet Communion, A simple, spoken service in the Lady Chapel, that lasts about 40 minutes.

At 10am for our Parish Communion, with hymns. Children are always welcome and can play, read and craft in the Children’s area.

On the last Sunday of each month, instead of Communion we hold our All Age Service, usually with a visit from Minty the Sheep.

As well as our regular Sunday services, we have a Healing Service on Wednesday's at 10.30am which draws on Celtic liturgies, and a monthly Julian Group with guided silence and meditation.

Our tranquil church yard has a large prayer Labyrinth at its heart and all are welcome to come and find God’s peace there.

Children are always welcome in church. Every Monday in term time we run Smarteenies, a thriving baby and toddler group and our children’s area is well stocked with books, toys and activities.

You can find our most up to date news on our Facebook Page - Facebook

We look forward to seeing you.
