Mothering Sunday Service of Holy Communion

for 1 hour
St Martin, Burton Agnes
Burton Agnes Hull, YO25 4NB, United Kingdom

Mothering Sunday in the Church of England is a special and meaningful day in the church calendar. It takes place on the fourth Sunday of Lent (also called Laetare Sunday or Refreshment Sunday).
While it’s often compared to the modern “Mother’s Day,” Mothering Sunday has deeper Christian roots. Traditionally, it was a time when people returned to their “mother church” – the main church or cathedral of the area where they were baptised.
Today, it’s a lovely opportunity to give thanks for mothers and all those who care for and nurture others, while also celebrating the church as a place of love, care and community.

St Martin, Burton Agnes

We're really glad you're here. We are a group of people passionate about sharing the love of God with those around us. Do come and join us at one of our services. You will be made very welcome.

As a benefice we support the statement from Inclusive Church to the effect that:-

We believe in inclusive church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We are a small and very friendly congregation. We are very lucky to have a beautiful church and churchyard in this small rural location, with our own organ and organist. We gather to worship on the first Sunday of each month. If you would like to come along to one of our services it would be great to see you. All are very welcome.
