Welcome from The Vicar
Hello, I’m Revd. Skye and a warm welcome to St Nicholas and St Thomas churches.
In 2017 I became the vicar of this benefice. What draw me here was their simple, honest desire to be a church for all, that doesn’t take itself too seriously and has place for everyone.
What I love is that both churches hold in love a breadth of different opinions in theology, taste in worship styles and preference to services: some loving the 8am BCP communion service and others preferring the Celtic gatherings outside the vicarage.
Yet somehow within our diversity we strive to abide in the love of God, keeping rooted in Christ, and be connected by the Holy Spirit, journeying together to grow as disciples and learn what it means to be stewards of this beautiful world.
I believe our differences and diversity made us stronger. Together we can be an honest reflection of the love of God in our community. We would love to welcome you to any of our services, community events or socials, and if you want to know more or have a conversation with someone beforehand the please do email Debbie our administrator: administrator@stnicholasmarston.org.uk.
