We all have things that we hate or regret about our past. We’ve all made mistakes, and will continue to, but God loves us nonetheless. You are so loved. You really matter. So whatever you’ve done, whatever you’re doing, whatever you’re going through, whatever you will do … come to St Martin’s anyway. The longest journey starts with a single step and you’ll be made to feel so welcome. So, join us at 10.45am on Sundays. We really hope you can make it.

YUMMY PASTRIES AT THE FREE COMMUNITY BREAKFAST 

Come and join us for yummy pastries at the Free Community Breakfast as well as toast, cereals, fruit, tea, filter coffee, and fruit juice. Drop in from 10am-10.40am (last breakfast served at 10.30am). We’d love to see you!

OUR MOTHERING SUNDAY FAMILY FRIENDLY SERVICE

At 10.45am, it’sour Mothering Sunday Family Friendly Service with fantastic, fun groups for kids and youth! Everyone is more than welcome!

We’ll be thinking about ‘How can I become a gentler person?’ as we continue our series on becoming more like Jesus, focusing on Galatians 5:22-23 and Matthew 11:28-30.

FREE FOOD STALL

Afterwards, you can visit the Free Food Stall which we run in partnership with ODCoG at the Youth Centre. If you need help putting food on the table, then please come along,12.30-1.30pm. Please take what you need to eat healthily with no questions asked. In the queue, you can also enjoy a free, healthy, tasty meal!

THIS MONDAY – FREE HAIRCUTS!

Following a fantastic first couple of weeks, St Martin’s Church is offering free haircuts for all from a professional hairdresser every Monday from 3pm-5.30pm.

Luigi will be cutting men, women, and children’s hair free of charge! To manage time effectively, we’ll be offering just a trim rather than colours, highlights, perms etc. We’re so grateful to Luigi for this service and we can’t wait to see you on Monday! See you there!
