The service paints many vivid pictures of what happens on the Christian way.
If you are engaged to be married and looking for a church to be married in, then congratulations! A wedding is one of life's great moments, a time of solemn commitment as well as good wishes, feasting and joy.
If someone you know and love has died, a funeral led by a Church of England minister can be held in church, in a churchyard, by a graveside, or at a crematorium. The minister will be there to support you every step of the way.
On the retirement of the Revd Linda Munt, the five parishes that make up the Garrowby Benefice are described as being in ‘vacancy.' In other words, we are looking for a new rector.
The process for appointing a new priest can be long. Our first task was to prepare a Parish Profile, which is available on the benefice website: http://www.garrowbychurches.com/parish-profile.html This is the information that prospective applicants will receive.
Next, the Diocese of York will advertise the post and, depending on responses, we will interview candidates in February. If we are successful in appointing someone there will still be a considerable wait while all the necessary administration is completed.
In the meantime, the churchwardens and PCCs are working together to ensure we can hold services every Sunday in at least one of the five parishes. Wherever you live, please be sure that you will be welcomed to any of the church services in the benefice.
You will be able to access the broadcast services by a link on the home-page or events-page of this website or by going straight to the Garrowby Churches YouTube channel where you can link to a service or subscribe to the channel.
If you subscribe you will be advised of updates when they become available. https://www.youtube.com/@Garrowby

During the vacancy if anyone needs to arrange a baptism, wedding or funeral please contact your churchwardens in the first instance.
