First Sunday of the Month Evening Prayer at 6pm - Book of Common Prayer

Monthly. Every First Sunday at for 45 mins
St Martin's Church, Barholm-with-Stowe
Main Road Barholm Stamford, PE9 4RA, United Kingdom
Christians have worshipped in the churches in our group for more than 900 years and we extend a warm welcome to those visiting, those returning and the regular members of the congregation.
We will be delighted to welcome you in sharing in the tradition of Evensong based on the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) 1662.

The heart of Evensong is the reading of Scripture. The service that surrounds it is intended to prepare us to hear God’s word and to be able to respond to it with praise. Its traditional or archaic language may help us to put aside the pressures of our lives as we enter into a tradition that has sustained Christians in England since the 17th Century.

If you are new to this style of worship or unfamiliar with the language, then let us put you at ease. We have tried to include sufficient instructions to help you take part in the service, but if you’d rather sit and listen then you’re very welcome to be still and let the music and words wash over you.

However you join in, we pray that you sense the presence and love of God.

If you are new then please introduce yourself to one of the team or the Minister leading the service.

While we wait for the service to begin, it may be helpful for us to sit in stillness and quiet to help us prepare our hearts and minds for this reflective service of Evening Prayer.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for taking an interest in the Church of St Martin of Tours, Barholm-with-Stowe.

Thank you to all those who came along to worship with us at our Advent Carol Service on the 1st December.

As we watch and wait through Advent we are given time to consider and meditate on the bigger and more significant things in life. This is especially important as our society rushes to celebrate all that Christmas means earlier and earlier each year. 

Fr Aran Beesley will lead a service of Holy Communion at 9am on Christmas Day,  you will be warmly welcomed at the door by Tricia or Carole and given a simple Order of Service booklet and Hymn Book to follow.

We will follow Seasonal Scripture Readings from regular members of the congregation and Julia will play for us at the organ as we join in the singing of well known traditional carols. 

With love, and hope to see you soon,

Carole
