St Mark’s church news for February 2021.
I suppose this should begin with ‘A Happy New Year to all our readers’! I think we have all been saying ‘Well it couldn’t be worse!’
As I write, 3 of the new vaccines have been approved for use in the UK, and the Buxted surgery has just started calling the over 70s for vaccination.

News from St. Mark’s.
Well, the long awaited day arrived on Friday 25th September, when our new Rector, the Rev. Pete Molloy, and his family arrived in Buxted. They were so pleased with all the preparations that had been done for them in the Rectory, making it as comfortable as possible until their own furniture and possessions arrive from Canada.
