Kind hearts in Markyate School

We are so grateful to the families of Markyate School for their very generous donation of food for our Parish Pantry. Two kind hearted children at the school heard that our food supplies were getting low. They raised the matter with the children on their School Council. The result was a huge donation of good things: fresh, packaged and tinned, and even some home made cookies. 

Many thanks indeed to the children and their parents. 

The Parish Pantry is available every day whenever St John's Church is open. The food is available for those in need. No questions asked.

 

 

Coming soon....

 

In Loving Memory: a moving service in St John's, Markyate to remember those we have loved and lost to death. A chance to light a candle on the altar, as you remember your loved one. 3pm on Sunday 29 October. Everyone is welcome. 

All Souls' Service: St Leonard's service at noon on 4 November in memory of the departed. St George's MusSoc Choir sing while we celebrate communion.

The choir will sing:
1) Kyrie (from The Armed Man-Jenkins)
2) Sanctus (from Requiem-Fauré)
3) Agnus Dei (Armed Man)
4) Ave Verum-Byrd (during communion)
5) In Paradisum (Fauré) to close the service

Please send names to be read out during the service to Jo at fmvicar@gmail.com.

 

Yes, but what about those who are struggling?  Contact Jo on fmvicar@gmail.com if you woud like to join a small group visit to the Luton Foodbank. The Foodbank is always in need of food or financial donations, and also volunteers. You can help.
