We are your Church. Welcome to St Guthlac's Church - Market Deeping, Lincolnshire
Corona virus
We have had to suspend our regular public services and the church is closed for the duration of the outbreak.
See the Church of England Coronavirus Guidance for more details.
We are still active!
Whilst the lockdown continues, we are posting and shall continue to post services, addresses and prayers that you can download and follow at home. We shall also soon be posting hymns with music and words that you can use and enjoy in an act of worship at home.
We won't be physically together in the church building, but spiritually we can be together sharing in the services, prayers and music. Remember when you do download and follow one of these acts of worship, you will not be alone, not only will you be reminded that Jesus is always with you but your friends and neighbours in our community will be following them too.

A Prayer for these difficult times
Help me, Lord
Help me in this time of uncertainty and fear always to remember that nothing in all creation can separate me from your love. Help me to remember that there are always those who have more problems than I do and help me to help them in whatever way I can.
Help me, Lord
Help me to remember that these restrictions which I find so difficult and so irritating are intended to keep me safe, and for the benefit of all around me. Help me to observe them faithfully and with a good grace.
Help me, Lord
Help me to cherish my loved ones and to work for the good of the community in which I live. Help me to remember that all things pass, and that in your good time all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Help me, Lord
