Work on trees in the Churchyard at St Mary's, Conistone
You may have seen that tree surgeons have done some work on trees in the churchyard of St Mary’s Church, Conistone. This follows a tree survey which identified work which needs doing to trees in the churchyard, in some cases for safety reasons. The Parochial Church Council for Upper Wharfedale and Littondale is in the process of seeking to organise further work in the churchyard. If the necessary permissions are forthcoming, we hope that this work will start shortly. We will put further information about this work on this page when we have more details that we can share, and we will also seek to publicise the details of the work, including timings, by other means.
Please go to the News and Views section of our website for the latest on events and happenings from around our Parish, including our Palm Sunday Procession, to be led by the Bishop of Ripon, and the Easter (April) 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
