What's on

Holy Communion (BCP) in Greatford Church at 9:00am

Occurring
Monthly. Every Fourth Sunday at for 1 hour
Venue
St Thomas of Canterbury Greatford
Address
Main Street Greatford Stamford, PE9 4QA, 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.

This service at 9am on the Fourth Sunday in Greatford Church is a celebration of Holy Communion based on the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) 1662 and 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.

The solemn nature of the words and actions help us to connect with ancient traditions.

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. Feel free to sit rather than standing or kneeling if this is more comfortable.

All who have been baptised in a Trinitarian church and who would normally receive communion are invited to receive at this church.
If you are not baptised, or if for any reason you do not wish to receive communion today, please come forward bringing the booklet that you will be given when you enter the church, and you will be given an individual blessing.

However you join in, we pray that you sense the presence and love of God.

If you are new to our Church, Please introduce yourself to Fr Aran or any members of the team.
