St Mary of the Purification
Main Street Blidworth, NG21 0QX, United Kingdom

As we journey through Lent towards the Cross we increasingly reflect upon Jesus' passion. This Sunday is called Passion Sunday and we will be reflecting upon a unnamed woman anointing Jesus with oil using an image with an opportunity to place ourselves in this story. There will be a Bible reading and we will pray.

St Mary of the Purification

Welcome to our churches in Blidworth and Rainworth working together to love and serve God and our communities.

Our vicar is Revd Zoe Burton

We seek to offer a safe peaceful space for people to meet with God and find their home within God’s family. Whether you consider yourself to have no faith or you are new to faith, or have been a Christian for a long time, all are welcome here, regardless of background, age or circumstances. We extend an invitation for people to come and experience God’s love for you!

Sunday services at St Mary's church are as follows: 1st Sunday of the month - 10am and 4th Sunday of the month - 9am. The 3rd Sunday is Holy Communion in St Andrews Chapel in the Mission, The Crescent, Blidworth.

The church is active in prayer and worship, supporting families through Life Event services: funerals, weddings and christenings; in pastoral care, the foodshare projects: supporting and meeting needs and partnership with other organisations in our communities

Our church is also home to what we believe is now a unique 'Rockings' service on the 1st Sunday in February each year.  We are also part of the Robin Hood Trail as legend has it that Will Scarlett is also buried in the churchyard.
