What's on

Morning Prayer

Every Tuesday and Thursday at for 15 mins
St John the Baptist
Helme Lane Skelsmergh Kendal, LA9 6NU, United Kingdom

Now that Revd Michelle lives next door to Skelsmergh church, she has decided to say the daily office in the church itself on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. She will be there at 9am and it lasts around 15-20 mins. It would be lovely if you felt able to join her there.
Perhaps you might pop in once in a while, or maybe it’s some-thing you would appreciate being part of more regularly. There will be no expectation for you to do anything other than just come and enjoy a quiet 20 mins at the start of a busy day, thinking and praying about the needs of the world and our local community and hearing words from the Bible.
There will be times of course when diary commitments mean that Revd Michelle will not be there, but St John the Baptist church will still be open at that time on those days.
If you unable to attend but would value prayer, do send any requests to Revd Michelle by email or on a note through the Vicarage door and we will include them.
