Prayer

St. Mary's Church is a community that has been rooted in prayer for centuries. We continue to look for new ways to both engage with our local communities but also how we can pray for them and with them. There are times when we all need prayer, that conversation with God, when we ask him to meet ours or someone else’s need.

We would love to pray for you or your loved ones, to pray for your worries, your hopes, your fears, your dreams – whatever comes to mind.

Join us in our weekly worship and if you would like someone to pray with, or for you, then let someone in the church know and we will be happy to facilitate that.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

Planning your Visit

Service times at
St Mary's, Dover

We extend a very warm welcome to you to come and join us for one of our services.

If you like (or want to discover more about) traditional Anglican music and worship, then St Mary's is the place for you. In the first chapter of the gospel of John, the apostle Philip says to Nathaniel, "Come and See", and that is the simple invitation we offer to you today.

Sunday worship:

On the first, third, fourth and fifth Sundays of every month, we have a sung Eucharist service, led by our Clergy and robed choir. This service starts at 10.45am and lasts about an hour.
On the second Sunday of every month, we have a Sung Matins service, led by our Clergy and robed choir. This also starts at 10:45am.
All our Sunday services are followed by coffee in the Parish Centre.

Choral evensong:

On the fourth Sunday of the month, we have a traditional choral evensong service (except for April, August and December). This service starts at 6:00pm and lasts about an hour. We also host an evensong and supper on a quarterly basis and everyone is invited to join us for supper after the service (donations towards the supper are gratefully received).

Wednesday worship:

Every Wednesday, we have a short Holy Communion service at 10am lasting for 30 minutes. This is followed by coffee in the Parish Centre.
