This Sunday 29th August, Nativity church will be taking part in a combined Marlborough Deanery worship service online at 10am. 

As we continue to face the restrictions of Lockdown in levels 4 & 3, Marlborough Anglicans will continue to offer combined online services using both Zoom and YouTube. The below links will remain the same each week, with the YouTube linking to the ‘channel’ rather than the individual live stream. From the channel you are able to access any current live stream or watch previous services.

You are able to join us either via Zoom or by watching live on YouTube.

Bishop Richard has recorded a number of services during the Covid-19 lockdown period. His Trinity Sunday service can be found here: https://vimeo.com/425617805

Collect:​ Holy God, you have not left us alone but promised your abiding protection. In all we face, grant us such a knowledge of your presence, and abiding care, that nothing can destroy our trust.
