Fr Mark welcomed the news:

My heart sinks, when recording services in church, I look out on an empty Nave, it will be lovely to have the body of Christ gathered together again for worship. Sadly I realise not everyone will be able to access worship in this way still, so I encourage those that can to join us on Facebook for our streamed services.
