Licensing Service for new Vicar
The Licensing Service for our new Vicar, the Rev Tom Lusty, is due to be held at 7pm on Monday, June 28, at St Oswald's Church, Arncliffe. We very much hope that the service will be an ‘in-person’ event, though of course this will depend on progress in reducing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Parish is still in Vacancy (for now)
This Sunday, May 16, we plan to hold Services of Morning Prayer at St Mary's Church, Kettlewell, at 9.30am, and at St Michael and All Angels Church, Hubberholme, at 11.15am. We have resumed opening our Churches for Private Prayer on Wednesday afternoons between 2pm and 4pm, and on Sundays between 10am and 2pm during weeks when a service is not being held there.

Christian Aid Week: May 10 to 16
Please click on the button below to make a donation to Christian Aid.
Because restrictions mean house-to-house collections are not
possible again this year the focus of fundraising in our Parish
is to ask people to donate by using our website (or if you
prefer, by BACS or cheque - see details below).
The theme of this year’s Christian Aid Week is Climate Justice for people living in poverty on the front line of climate chaos.
Our online service for May 9 will reflect this with a Christian Aid
short film on Climate Justice. On Saturday, May 15, a sponsored 10-hour Labyrinth Walk for Christian Aid will take place on the Meadow Labyrinth in Kettlewell Churchyard between 7am and 5pm.
Christian Aid thanks you for your support over the years and hopes you will choose to celebrate with the charity this Christian Aid Week.
