Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
Join Bishop Pete and Christians from round the diocese for a lively service of prayer and praise at Sheffield Cathedral.
Guest preacher: Revd Canon Kate Wharton, Assistant National Leader New Wine.
This is also a diocesan event for our growing 2025 prayer community.
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come (30th May – 9th June), it is hoped that everyone who takes part will
- Deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ
- Pray for God’s spirit to work in the lives of those they know
- Come to realise that every aspect of their life is the stuff of prayer

Celebrating Women’s Ministry
An event to mark the 25th anniversary of the ordination of women. It is also the 50th anniversary of the first female Readers licensed this year, and both will be part of the celebration.
The event will take place on Saturday, 18 May at 2.30pm in Doncaster Minster. The guest speaker is The Ven Joanne Grenfell, Archdeacon of Portsmouth (and former Dean of Women’s Ministry in Sheffield Diocese). How is ministry richer for everyone due to the presence of women in the priesthood? What difference has a generation of women made in ministry? It is a celebration of all that women have brought to ministry, and continue to bring.
The event is open to everyone and anyone!
Bookings for the event are being taken through Eventbrite CLICK TO BOOK
There will be refreshments available following the service.
Those wishing to robe should wear cassock, surplice and white stole or blue Reader’s scarf. Robing is optional!
The service this year has been written by Christian women of Slovenia and is entitled ‘Come – Everything is Ready’. It will take place at 2:00pm on Friday 1st March in the Methodist Church. Please join us, it promises to be a challenging but beautiful service.
