Everyone is welcome at our Bible Study Group where we aim to provide a friendly environment to read the Bible and explore our faith in God.

Whether you’re new to the Bible or have studied for years, you’ll find thoughtful discussion, encouragement, and fellowship. Come and share questions and insights as we read the gospel together.

Join us once, or every week. To confirm Term Dates contact Anne Rawcliffe on [email protected] Everyone is welcome.

A place of prayer for centuries, we stand on the prayers of those who have gone before us. Our job is to receive and hold the baton for now. You're invited: join us!

A space to sit, and think and not think at the same time. Nobody will bother you, just peace and quiet in an ancient church. An opportunity to light a candle in our sacred space. We're open. You're invited.

Visitors and locals welcome! We meet on Thursdays at 5pm and if you would like to learn or can ring and would like to join us, please do come along. Contact Kate on [email protected] for more information.

Join us for a Taize service at 7pm

Taizé is a small town in the Burgundy region of France where a monastic community, founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schütz, has been the focus of worldwide Christian pilgrimage. The community is well-known for it's simple, chant-like style of worship and prayer, and is especially popular with young people, with over 100,000 people making pilgrimages to Taizé every year to pray, study and work.
St Mary's Rydal have held Taizé -style services since the 1980's. At the turn of the millennium the Rydal Hall Community and a group from St Mary's visited Taizé. Today we meet on the first Sunday of the month at 7pm, excluding January and August. In winter (November, December, February through April) we meet in Rydal Hall chapel and in summer (May through July, September, October) at St Mary’s Church Rydal. Quiet reflection, Taize chants and readings given by members of the congregation are enjoyed in soft candlelight. Everyone is welcome.
