The Imagination of God – Parish Day 2020
A St Martin-in-the-Fields Parish Day with Guest Speaker writer and poet Malcolm Guite.
As you will have expected, we have had to delay our Parish Weekend at Worth Abbey until 2021. Instead, we will be having a St Martin’s Parish Day online so it can be open for all who wish to attend.
We are fortunate to have the inspirational poet Malcolm Guite to lead us.
The day will explore the gift of imagination and creativity through poetry, art, great sacred music and worship. All are welcome to join us online. For those able to travel we are hoping to hold our evening service in the St Martin’s Prayer Garden in the Courtyard. Then there will be the chance for us to support our café in the courtyard for drinks and refreshments and to share some of the creativity the day has inspired. Our own writers, poets, musicians and artists from St Martin’s will be leading exciting break out groups via zoom and there will be an art project for all to take part in wherever you are joining us from.
Please sign-up for tickets here.
Full details of the programme will follow but if you have any questions in the meantime, please email harriet.merz@smitf.org.
