Sunday Services at St Mark's are currently suspended - all welcome at St Luke's Downham

Every Sunday at for 1 hour
St Mark's Downham
Baudwin Rd Catford, SE6 1RN, United Kingdom

You are all welcome to attend St Luke’s 11am service. St Luke’s is located on the corner of Northover and Shroffold Road, BR1 5JR – the 124 bus from outside St Mark’s stops very close to St Luke’s.

Since the pandemic, St Mark’s has changed a great deal, and we have spent a lot of time thinking and discussing our future. Especially how to best share the Good News of Jesus and serve our community, as well as how to pay the bills and fulfil our institutional responsibilities. After much consideration and attempts to bring the necessary change, we have reached the difficult decision to stop our Sunday 10am service.

We also have a Wellbeing Prayer and Bible Study at St Mark’s every Thursday (arrive for 11:30am) which you are welcome to attend. Consideration is also being given to introducing a Holy Communion service on Wednesday lunchtime after Easter.
