Every weekday morning from 9.30 - 10am, we will be meeting in one of our churches on a rolling basis, to say Common Worship Daily Prayer together.

Monday - All Saints, Mattersey
Tuesday - Holy Trinity, Everton
Wednesday - St John the Baptist, Misson
Thursday - St Nicholas, the usual Bawtry Holy Communion service
Friday - St Helena’s, Austerfield

Prayer is the principle means by which faith is increased and power released.
One of the 7 areas of focus within the Diocesan Vision is 'Nurturing Prayer' and I have been reflecting on the importance having a daily rhythm of communal prayer in our Benefice and am delighted to be introducing this from September.
You are warmly invited to join us in person, if you can make it. If you have a smart phone, you can download the Daily Prayer App for free and access the liturgy and readings each day. There will also be paper service sheets at each location
