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
