St John the Baptist Knaresborough North Yorkshire

Daily Office
Since the days of the Early Church, Christians have gathered together to worship, pray and read the Scriptures. The Daily Offices, sustained in monastic communities and by the clergy, combines these three elements in services that are both simple and enriching. Church of England Clergy, as part of our ordination vows, promise to read these Offices morning and evening. The Clergy of the Knaresborough Team meet each weekday (other than Wednesday when there are regular Communion Services) to say the Office and pray.
We warmly invite anyone who wishes to do so, to join us.
Each Office lasts a maximum of 30 minutes.
We Meet as follows:
Monday - 9am in Holy Trinity (first Monday of the month in St Mary's, Goldsborough)
Tuesday - 8:30 Holy Communion in the St Edmund (Chapel) in St John's Church, Knaresborough.
Thursday - 9am in Holy Trinity
Friday - 9am in the St Edmund (Chapel) in St John's Church, Knaresborough.
Please join us - but remember the church heating will not be on.
Every Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday at 9:00 AM
 
Sunday
Book of Common Prayer
Holy Communion, Book of Common Prayer style, is a service which shows off the beauty of the traditional English language. There are no hymns in this service and for those familiar with The Book of Common Prayer we use Order Two. This much loved service with its use of Old English lends itself beautifully to a church with this much history.
Every Sunday at 8:00 AM for ½ hour
Bridges All Age Worship
This is a short service (approximately 45 minutes) when people of all ages worship, learn and pray together (and hopefully have fun too). Informal yet structured, the service offers hymns, participation and times of quiter reflection. Holy Communion is not available at this service.
Every first Sunday at 10:30 AM for ¾ hour
Parish Communion
This very popular service includes hymns, prayers of intercession, Bible readings and a sermon. In the sharing of bread and wine, this service helps us to remember Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.
Every second fourth and fifth Sunday at 10:30 AM for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Choral Eucharist
The Choral Eucharist is sung to a different choral setting each month. This service also includes congregational hymns, prayers of intercession, Bible readings and a sermon. In the sharing of bread and wine, this service helps us to remember Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.

Informal Prayers
St John's offers a prayer station where people may write their prayers down and place them on a board. We believe that the prayers of the wider community are just as important as the prayers of our weekly worshippers. Therefore an informal, short service is held weekly where we meet to read the prayer notes and pray with you.
