A very big THANK YOU!
We are very pleased to report that the restoration of the three faces of our historic tower clock is now complete.
This would not have been possible without the extraordinary generosity of members of the congregation and local residents.
We are indebted to both the Sir John Priestman Trust and the Benefact Trust who also provided grants towards the costs.
For more information please refer to our clock face restoration page of our website.
Thanks are of course due to everyone involved in the project but most of all thanks to all of you who contributed so generously.
We celebrated and thanked God during our Harvest Worship.
We received many kind donations of dried and tinned food for our Harvest Collection which has been divided between the Harrogate Homeless Hostel and the Harrogate Foodbank.
The Flower Team produced some beautiful arrangements of Harvest Flowers and our Junior Church created some wonderful and colourful Harvest Banners to decorate our Church.
Thank you to everyone that was involved in the celebrations and for the generous donations to Harrogate Homeless Hostel and the Harrogate Foodbank.
An annual event which usually takes place of the Vicarage during August.
Sometimes the Garden Party has been relocated from The Vicarage Garden to the Parish Centre due to the weather! When this happens is doesn’t dampen spirits as the hall is transformed into an inside Garden Party with gazebo, deck chairs and a bowling green!
At the last event, over 100 people attend and enjoyed scones, jam and cream and delicious cakes.
A great time was had by all!
We say a big thank you to all those who baked, delivered/moved or arranged garden furniture and tents, taxied, served and most of all everyone that attended and had fun.
Thanks to all the made a donation to help us raise some additional funds for the Church too.
A service of readings and prayers for Rogationtide and World Environment Day. This took place at a number of locations around the Church. Whilst the congregation listened to readings and prayed for our community and environment, the Junior Church got creative in the outdoors. They made models to represent our service using plasticine, Lego and pipe cleaners.
It was a lovely service helping us to think about our local surroundings and be thankful. We were also very thankful of the beautiful sunshine!
For our last Service of Confirmation in the Celebration of Holy Communion, our congregation and the Rt Revd Anna Eltringham, Bishop of Ripon, celebrated with our Confirmation candidates and their families. It was a lovely and memorable service.
