New email address for Parish Office
Since the formation of our parish in 2019 we have used the same email address for the Parish Office. This is a Diocese of Leeds email account, and the diocese has told us we must change to a different address. So we are in the process of moving to a new address, which is [email protected] For a brief period we will have both addresses, but the old address ([email protected]) is likely to cease functioning very soon. Please look out for emails from the new address, and send any messages you have for the office to that address. Please feel free to share this message with members of your church communities and anyone else you feel may benefit from it.
Please go to the News and Views section of our website for the latest on events and happenings from around our parish, including news of Easter Bingo in Buckden and the March edition of The Link.
The church communities of Upper Wharfedale and Littondale aim to be open and welcoming to everyone. We extend the hospitality of Jesus to people of all faiths and none whatever your background or identity.
Whether you are seeking God's presence, looking for information or some help with prayer and worship, we hope that you will discover that God's love is unconditional and within all things.
Keep us, good Lord, Under the shadow of your mercy In this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support the anxious and fearful, And lift up all who are brought low; That we may rejoice in your comfort, Knowing that nothing can separate us from your love In Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Peace to all who enter. God's grace to all who depart
