can you sing?
Here's what some members told us.......

St Martins Church has a wonderful atmosphere and people always make you welcome and feel at home when arriving.  I enjoy talking with everyone at the end of the service about christian beliefs and what St Martins means to them.

To me it has helped bring peace to my heart and generate a love of being with people who are very kind and considerate.  Thank you to all who make St Martins Church what it is today.  May God bless you all and keep you safe in his heart.

I like to come to church because I can dance, and play with the toys and sit on the big step at the front and watch the singing and listen to the stories. (Jack aged 2½ helped by daddy!)

I like going to church, firstly to thank God for all he has given me, second, to sing in the Choir and thirdly to enjoy the friendly atmosphere. (E.Causon, retired)

I was asked the question "why do I come to church" I suppose I have always gone to church from being knee high to a grasshopper. Like a lot of young children, I remember having a brief spell in my teens when I didn't attend regularly. I find going to church very relaxing and it gives me an opportunity to think clearly without interruption. I find members of the church friendly and our Rector, Richard Sharpe, is very interesting, topical and also entertaining! (Sometimes I think he should go on stage!) Seriously though, having faith is comforting to me and if I have a problem, going to church and having time to think as well as listen, helps me sort out my mind. (S.Hutty)

I come to church to play with my friend Emma in Sunday School and then play in the churchyard afterwards. (Zoe aged 5)

I come to church to sing in the Choir and teach the younger ones to sing. (Stephanie, 33)

I come to church to sing and worship God. (Sarah aged 12)

I like to go to church to sing in the Choir, and serve during communion with the Rector, who is a laugh. (Ashley aged 12)

I come to church to sing in the Choir and eat lots of biscuits and join in the fun stuff. (Kieran aged 10)

I like doing Sunday School plays and I like saying prayers about people or God or pets. I like songs about God and reading books about God. (Charlotte aged 7)
