A Service for the First Sunday of Lent.

Join us today for our online church service for the First Sunday of Lent from St Martin‑in‑the‑Fields.

As we begin the season of Lent, Rev Richard Carter reflects on the theme of temptation in the wilderness, accompanied by music from St Martin’s Voices.

This service offers moments of stillness, scripture, prayer and music as we journey together towards Easter.

Whether you're exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for encouragement, you are warmly invited to worship with our growing online community across England and beyond.

Our service today, for the Sunday before Lent, includes a celebration of Lunar New Year, which this year marks the Year of the Horse - a significant moment for many Christians from a Chinese heritage background.

Rev Mark Nam will reflect on how Lunar New Year offers a meaningful pause to look back on the past year and consider how we prepare for the year ahead. He will connect these themes with our gospel reading, inviting us to reflect on how we discern God’s guidance as we move through different seasons of life.

The service will also include two Everyday Faith segments:

1. Rev Fung Lau from Trinity Church, Earley will share the impact of their growing Hong Kong ministry
2. Rev Dave Ho Young will speak about his recent visit with Bishop Arun Arora to the Diocese of Hong Kong Island

We invite you to tune in and reconnect with scripture, worship, and fellowship - alongside our growing online community across England and beyond.
