World Day of Prayer Service

for 1 hour
St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church
St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Darley Lane Derby

The theme of the World Day of Prayer Service this year is from Ephesians 4: 1 – 6. “I beg you, bear with one another in love.” The service was written by a group of Palestinian Christian women before the current conflict and deals with their own personal experiences. Their hope was to encourage and inspire other women around the world to bear with one another in troubled times. As has often happened before, this year’s service has been overtaken by a tragic set of events.
This service is offered, believing that we are called to support the Christian women who created it and we invite all those taking part to listen prayerfully to their voices. We pray with world leaders, relief workers, medical teams and all those praying about the situation, for an end to the killing, and for the wisdom to build a lasting peace.
After the Derby service lunch will be provided

St Andrew's Community Hub

On 1 January 2023 the Parishes of Littleover, St. Peter and Blagreaves, St. Andrew were merged to form a new Parish of Littleover and Blagreaves. There were also some boundary changes with the Parish of Normanton, St. Giles.

The St. Andrew’s Church building is no longer a Church and is now St. Andrew's Community Hub, although remaining owned by the Church.

Further information can be found in the news articles on this website or on the website for the new Parish at https://www.stpeterlittleover.org.uk/

Everyone is welcome to our services and events.

All regular services are now being held in St. Peter’s Church, Littleover, which is the Parish Church for the new Parish.

Sunday services are being held at 10am in St. Peter’s Church and also livestreamed. Holy Communion services are also being held at 10.30am on Wednesdays in St. Peter’s Church. See the Services and events section of this website for full details, including how to join the livestreamed services. Any additional or special services and events will also be detailed in the Services and events section of this website
