What's on

Traditional Evensong for the 2nd Sunday of Lent

for 1 hour
St Martin's Church, Barholm-with-Stowe
Main Road Barholm Stamford, PE9 4RA, United Kingdom

We extend a very warm welcome to everyone in church for our regular first Sunday of the month Evening Prayer.

Christians have worshipped in the churches of our group for more than 900 years and we very much hope that you will join us to share in the tradition of Evensong from 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, 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.
