St Mary's stands at the very heart of Ilkeston and is the ancient parish church of the town. We value both our history and location, seeking to reach out to the community that surrounds us and to value all that is best in our heritage, while being open to all the new things that God has in store for us.

The Vicar’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank you for all who work on the land and help to provide our daily food. We are mindful of the delicate balance of the seasons, the sunshine and rainfall on which we depend and especially so in this time of drought. Help us to appreciate more fully the natural world that we take so much for granted. We like to think that we are all powerful and in control but, like all creatures on earth, our life depends entirely your creation.

Amen
