What's on

Evening Prayer (BCP)

Monthly. Every First Sunday at for 1 hour
St Martin's Church, Barholm-with-Stowe
Main Road Barholm Stamford, PE9 4RA, United Kingdom

Christians have worshipped in the churches of our group for more than 900 years and we are delighted that you are researching and considering coming along to share in the tradition of Evensong from the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) 1662 at St Martin's, Barholm with Stowe.

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. You will be welcomed at the door by a member of our congregation and given all that you need for the service. In our Order of Service we have tried to include sufficient instructions to help you take part in the service, alternatively 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.
