The language used by the church and occasionally by us all, to discuss faith, religion or belief can often be confusing, misinterpreted and for some alienating. The purpose of this small group is to create a space where language and concepts can be explored safely, and greater insight developed. The group meets every two weeks and is open to all, of faith and no faith. A space to listen, share and question.

This is one of a series of new and exciting experiments we are running across our chrches: do come along and experience something a little different.

Please contact Reverend Anthony for further information: [email protected] or 01947 899843.

At this special meeting we’ll build on all the energy we’ve generated and hard work we’ve put in across Middle Esk Moor over the two years.

Each of our teams, including people from across our villages, are beginning to take the load off our four parochial church councils (PCCs) by working collaboratively on common priorities.

All are welcome to come along. Food and refreshments will be available from 5.30 pm. It would be helpful, for catering, if you could let Reverend Anthony know if you're coming. Please text 07484735284 or email [email protected].

We have decided not to run the Advent Group this year, but instead we will be reflecting on Julian of Norwich's writings at a Lent Group, starting in February. Details to follow.

So, the sessions on 4th, 11th and 18th December will not be taking place. Apologies if you were planning to come.

However, you can still begin to explore Julian of Norwich's writings. Reverend Anthony has some materials about her, which you would be most welcome to borrow and read ahead of the group starting next year.
