Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday, the name comes from the Greek word "pentekoste" which means fiftieth as Pentecost Sunday takes place on the 50th day of Easter.

This year it falls on Sunday 8th June and we will have the opportunity to celebrate Holy Communion at our neighbouring Church of St Lawrence at Tallington.

This Christian holy day commemorates the coming of the Holy Spirit in the form of flames to the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the New Testament in Acts 2:1–13, taken from the fifth book of the New Testament of the Bible and this scripture will be read to us today.

The symbols of Pentecost are those of the Holy Spirit and include flames, fire, wind, and a dove.

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.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
