Our monthly service of Holy Communion

This is our Patronal festival (St Nicholas' Day itself is on 6th December). In memory of the stories surrounding St Nicholas, we aim to ensure children who might otherwise not get given presents at Christmas do so. We do this by asking all our parishioners to bring or leave suitable gifts to be distributed by the Salvation Army based at Malton. More details of these arrangements will be published later. Following the service we shall be turning on our lights ready to celebrate Advent and the Christmas period and to bring light in the darkest months of the year.

As we did for so many years in the village's Methodist Chapel, we continue this tradition now at St Nicholas' Church. The format changes slightly each year but will include favorite carols as well as readings. More details to follow once the service is planned.

We celebrate the birth of Christ over two thousand years ago, whose teachings at the start of the first millennium are as relevant today as in those years so long ago.
