Prayer Groups
Praying for the world's needs in Deeping St James
There is a House Group which meets weekly on Wednesday evenings at 19:30 at 45 Crowson Way.
New members and visitors are always welcome. Subjects for prayer can be left on a board in church or e-mailed to the Curate
Church Ladies' Fellowship
Meets alternate Thursday evenings in the Church Hall, with a break for the summer. See Priory News for details.
Bible Study Groups
Applying God's Word to our lives
Our prayer groups study the Bible to some extent, and, of course, the Bible is read and preached in our church services. We also have a Bible Study Group which meets on Friday mornings at 10 o'clock for about an hour. In the context of prayer and over a cup of coffee, the members work through a chosen book of the Bible and try to apply its teaching to the world, the church and their own lives. New members of the group are always welcome (and if we get too many we can always start another group!). Enquiries to the Curate, please.

The Bell Ringers
There are six bells in the tower of The Priory Church. These are rung for Sunday Morning services on a regular basis and for other special events and services as requested.
We have a lively band of some ten ringers, some at the beginners stage and others who have rung for many years. Apart from the ringing aspect we also hold other social activities outside the tower. We hold an annual barbeque and dinner as well as trips out for other functions.
We are always pleased to see new faces, whether you can ring or not. Complete novices are trained in the safe handling of our bell ropes. Our practice night is on Friday at 7.30. Enquiries, please to Richard Muspratt.
The Choir
The Choir is RSCM affliated and sings regularly at the 10 o'clock Eucharist, except during the month of August. In addition there is a monthly Choral Evensong - usually on the first Sunday of the month - and we sing at special Services, such as Ascension, and at the major Festivals. Other events include the annual Advent Carol Service, the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols and occasional concerts.
The main weekly rehearsals take place in church on Friday evenings. The Juniors begin at 6.15 pm when they learn new music and prepare for the RSCM awards. The rest of the choir join the Juniors at 6.45 pm. until 8.00 pm. We have vacancies for all voices, both male and female. We are a very friendly group of singers.
For further information, please contact the Choirmaster, John Worthington.
