Having spoken with all service leaders, clergy and PCCs, it's time to let everyone know that over a 6 month time frame we will be exploring new ways to come together in worship across the West Galtres Ministry Unit. This will include:

in week 1, a shared service at St Stephen's for Aldwark, Alne and Tollertonin week 4, a shared service rotating around the churches for Skelton, Shipton and Newtonin week 3, a new West Galtres Celtic afternoon service in St Stephen'sin week 1, a new West Galtres Evening service of worship in St Michael'sin week 5, a new West Galtres Ministry Unit service of Communion

I am praying that these changes will help us deepen faith, friendships and grow our existing church congregations, so more will feel welcome to join us.Together I hope we can discern new ways of reaching out to our communities, especially to younger families and children.

Rev'd Lucy
