@ThyKingdom_Come, the global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to know Jesus, starts this week. This year’s theme is all about God’s presence with us in the everyday. Find out how you can join in here 👇 thykingdomcome.global

I was pleased to celebrate the Eucharist with the congregation at St Nicholas’, Husthwaite this weekend @DioceseofYork. We then went on to St Michael’s, Coxwold for the 100th Annual Cyclists’ Service, commemorating cyclists who served during the two World Wars and in other conflicts.

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek begins today, with a focus on taking action - for our own mental health, for those we love, and for a healthier society. As Christians, loving our neighbour calls us to compassionate, practical action. This week, how might you respond with love? Learn more and get involved at mentalhealth.org.uk

Christian Aid Week begins today. A shared moment to come together and stand alongside people living in poverty. For one week, thousands across Britain and Ireland will give, fundraise, pray and act together. What will you do? @christian_aid Find out how you can get involved here 👇 christianaid.org.uk/appeals/key-ap…

Today I’m at St Nicholas Church in Husthwaite for their Parish Eucharist, followed by a visit to St Michael’s Church in Coxwold for their 100th Annual Cyclists Service, commemorating cyclists who served in the 2 World Wars and other conflicts. @DioceseofYork

A joyful day in the Diocese of Sheffield – walking, praying, worshipping and spending time with young people. Grateful for the warm welcome and for the diocese’s commitment to nurturing faith among the next generation. Let us keep walking together in hope.

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough. Thank you for helping us to see the wonder of creation, and the responsibility we share to protect it. Many blessings and prayers on this special day.

Later today I’m visiting St John of Beverley in Harpham to pray and bless the Well. I’ll then be preaching at a service of Choral Evensong. Starting at 6.30pm, all are welcome. @dioceseofyork

Today, as elections take place across England, Scotland and Wales, I’m grateful for everyone who serves their communities - volunteers, council staff, candidates, polling teams, and all who work for the common good. May we continue to build places marked by respect and hope for the future.

How do we experience the presence of God in our lives today? 🕯️🤲 As we look ahead to Thy Kingdom Come next week, the Archbishop of York, The Most Revd and Rt Hon @CottrellStephen, reflects on a personal encounter in which he knew God was with him. “In my daily life as a Christian, there are all kinds of occasions, usually through other people, that I sense the presence of God with me, and the big constant in my Christian life is the Eucharist.” Watch as he shares how that experience shaped his faith and continues to speak into his daily walk with God.

On Saturday 9 May I’m in the Diocese of Sheffield to take part in a pilgrimage, journeying from St Paul's Wordsworth Avenue, stopping off for prayer at St Leonard's and Christ Church Pitsmoor, and ending up at Sheffield Cathedral. All are welcome. You can register here 👇 sheffield.anglican.org/event/pilgrima….

Saddened to hear of the fire at Liverpool Cathedral this afternoon but pleased to hear it was quickly brought under control and no one was hurt. Our thoughts and prayers go to all those in the cathedral community.

This last week it’s been so inspiring to visit @leedscofe and @DioceseofDurham, to visit schools, walk ancient paths, see the mission of the church in action, and gather with others to teach The Lord’s Prayer. @WakeCathedral @durhamcathedral

We pray for Michael, Simon and Rick and give thanks for the gifts each of them brings. They are consecrated as bishops in the Church of God serving in the dioceses of Carlisle, Liverpool and Durham.

At @York_Minster for today's consecration of: Rick Simpson as Bishop of Durham; Michael Leyden as Bishop of Penrith; and Simon Robinson as Bishop of Warrington. Please pray for them as they take up these roles, and for the communities they will serve. @DioceseofDurham @CarlisleDiocese @LivDiocese

Ahead of his consecration tomorrow, the Venerable Rick Simpson’s confirmation of election as the next Bishop of Durham took place @York_Minster today. Join me in praying for Rick and @DioceseofDurham as he begins this new ministry.

Great to join the Minster Mice community this morning @York_Minster. Minster Mice is a fun, weekly service for pre-school aged children and their parents and carers – they meet on Wednesdays in school term time.

Fantastic to be with @leedscofe, as part of my Lord’s Prayer Tour across the North of England yesterday. The day concluded with an evening gathering @wakecathedral where we explored the power and relevance of the Lord’s Prayer for our lives today.

@LeedsCofE @churchofengland @TrinityAcademyC Thank you to the staff and volunteers @stgeorgeslupset who do so much to support the people of Lupset, in Wakefield, and the surrounding areas.

Continuing my visit to @leedscofe, I came away encouraged by time spent with those preparing for ordained ministry in the @churchofengland.  Visited @TrinityAcademyC, where students asked questions and we explored the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer together.

Today I’m in @leedscofe, as part of my Lord’s Prayer Tour across the North of England where I’ll be visiting schools and churches, meeting with curates and later @WakeCathedral for an evening exploring The Lord’s Prayer. Starting at 6.30pm, all are welcome! wakefieldcathedral.churchsuite.com/embed/events/r…
