Across the Bradworthy Benefice, we’ll be joining a global wave of prayer from Ascension to Pentecost as part of Thy Kingdom Come 2026 and you are warmly invited to be part of it.
This year’s theme is simple but powerful:
🙏 Pray for Five.
Pray for Five people in your life. Friends, family, neighbours, colleagues. Five names held before God in prayer, asking that they may come to know the love, hope, and presence of Jesus Christ.
Some Weekdays and Saturdays, we will gather for Morning Prayer as well as each Evening, Evening Prayer using the 1662 Book of Common Prayer often known simply as the BCP.(See dates below) and www.bradworthybenefice.org
The Book of Common Prayer has shaped Anglican worship for over 350 years. Its words have been prayed through times of joy and grief, war and peace, harvest and hardship. The language may feel old at first, but it carries a depth, beauty, honesty, and reverence that still speaks today.
This is a small section from the opening, by way of example:
“Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness…”
If you’ve never experienced something like this before, don’t worry nor have many of us. We shall experience it together.
There is no pressure to know what to do or say. Simply come. Sit. Listen. Pray. Breathe.
