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.
The Garrowby Benefice is fully committed to the Diocesan vision of Living Christ’s Story.
To live Christ’s story is to be part of God’s mission of love in and for the world today and we need a flourishing and sustainable church of followers of Jesus for this to happen.
We want our churches to be places where the story of Christ is known and lived out, transforming the communities we serve. We try to achieve this in our everyday life: at work, in education, in our neighbourhoods or at leisure. We try to to reach new people and grow in discipleship together, striving for greater diversity and attracting younger people.
But also through our worship, in celebrating with new parents, baptism; with couples, their marriage; with family and friends the memorial of those who have died.
To help us achieve these goals there have been Advent and Lent Lunches and study groups. There have also been Epiphany and Lent socials at the Rectory, open to everyone from all the villages, providing opportunities to bring together people who wouldn’t normally meet.
A monthly meditation group is held at St Edith’s on behalf of the whole benefice, a chance to explore silence and different approaches to contemplative prayer.
