Our Benefice is in Vacancy : Below is the latest news from the parishes

From St. Edith’s PCC

A big ‘Thank you’ to all those who have supported St. Edith’s over the last year. We are very grateful, for the many volunteers: the gardeners, grass cutters, cleaners, flower arrangers, key holders for opening and closing the church each day, the tower clock-keeper.

To the community shop who continue to sell our cards and Bishop Wilton history book.

To all who helped and supported our fund-raising events, providing crafts, cakes, raffle, hamper and tombola prizes etc. The Christmas Bazaar raised £2313. The Christmas Hamper Raffle was well supported raising £606.

Garrowby Singers

Thank you to everyone who came to our Christmas Concert in December. It was very well supported and received. We raised over £500 for the Benefice. Our next venture is the choir festival in York on March 5th, followed by the Good Friday service held in St. Edith’s.

St. Mary’s Skirpenbeck

Our Nativity service was held on Sunday 22nd December. It was wonderful to welcome 50 people into our church. 14 children took part in a short play loosely based on the three kings. Everyone had a great time followed by mulled wine, mince pies and hot chocolate. A great big thank you to everyone who helped with the service, as well as David Millican (Lay Dean) who oversaw proceedings.

Services are held on the first Sunday of the month at 10am and everyone is most welcome.

Our next event in church is a friendly quiz.

Saturday March 15th 7pm start. Tickets are £5 and include a hot supper. Please bring your own wine/beer etc. Hot drinks will be available. Tickets can be purchased on the door or from Penny 07771 623639 prior to the event.
