We meet at the far car park (please don’t park in the golf club parks, follow the stewards directions. Our walk during the service will be round the north end of the site At this service we go out from Church and into the countryside to ask God’s blessing on the planting, growing and recreational activities of the modern day farm. It is a time when we acknowledge God in his power of creation. Everybody welcome. Speak to the warden if you need lifts organising.

W. CMS boxes
Its time to empty the CMS boxes, if you hold a box can you return it to Joan Burgess as so as possible.

B. Rural mission day
There is a poster in each church for the day ‘Released for Mission’, on growing the rural church in Yorkshire.

W. Church and Cottage Cleaning
We are looking for help with cleaning the church and the cottage. Both rotas need more people and currently both rotas run on a four-weekly cycle. Obviously, the more people that join, the less often it will need to be done by each person.
