For Prayer and Praise

Regular daily prayer is a vital part of the Christian's life. The Church of England offers a pattern of prayer in the morning, the evening and at night.

Click here to find the services for today set out in full on the Church of England website.

Once on the page, click on the service you want (morning, evening or night prayer) in the blue rectangle. These services can be used on your own, as a family activity or with friends. We call them 'common' prayer or worship because they unite people everywhere in the same prayers and Bible readings.
