Get Involved! 
St Mark’s thrives on the willingness of our members to get involved in the life of the church. Here are the other areas of our community life where you can get involved.
If you would like to get involved in any of these areas or have another question about getting more involved in the life of the church, please contact the church office.
Audio Visual
Want to learn to operate the sound desk, mix feeds, record talks and facilitate multi-media presentations? This team is critical in helping our Sunday services run smoothly.
Contact: Chris Blewett or Mike Aldington
Catering Team
Throughout the year opportunities exist to organise, prepare and serve refreshments at different events and celebrations. If you feel able to assist in any way the team would love to hear from you!

Flower Arrangers
Team members work individually on a rota basis, except at Easter, Harvest and Christmas when they work together as a whole team. Flower arranging is a creative form of praise and we would welcome anyone who feels they would like to join the team; experience not needed – learn as you go with the support of others!

Sidesmen Team
These teams support our church wardens in ensuring that church services run smoothly by welcoming people at the door, ushering at communion services, engaging in the collection process and keeping account of attendance, to name but a few. If you feel you could help out and be part of one of these teams, we would love to hear from you.

Worship / Music Groups
Leading the church in worship is a great privilege and a vital part of our Sunday services. We are keen to encourage gifted musicians and singers, who are committed to St. Mark’s, to join one of our teams.
