St. Mark's Church.

St Mark's Church building sits beside the Village Green in the centre of the village of Natland. But the church is bigger than just Natland. It is the church for the communities of Oxenholme, the Oaks, the Beeches, the Strawberry Fields, Rochester Gardens, Natland Mill Beck on the southern edge of Kendal, and anyone who cares to join us. Visitors are very welcome.

Now we are in Lockdown 3 however and the church building has had to be closed, except for funerals.

Services will all be recorded at 10am every Sunday and they will be available here. Click on this link FOR THIS WEEKS SERVICE (24 Jan 21), and on this link FOR THE ORDER OF SERVICE.  They can also be followed live on the St. Mark's Church Facebook page .

Every Thursday at 7.45 a group learns more about the Psalms in a Zoom meeting. Contact ang.whitt.68@googlemail.com for details.
