The service paints many vivid pictures of what happens on the Christian way.

If someone you know and love has died, a funeral led by a Church of England minister can be held in church, in a churchyard, by a graveside, or at a crematorium. The minister will be there to support you every step of the way.
Please come and join us at one of our Harvest Festival Services, when we gather with thankful hearts to celebrate God’s goodness and generosity.
Harvest is a beautiful and long-standing celebration. From Bible times and beyond, people have gathered to give thanks for the gifts of the earth and for all that sustains us. It is a time to pray with gratitude for farmers, farm workers, and everyone involved in the food supply chain. It is also a time to remember that it is God who gives us the sun and the rain, and the wonderful agricultural grace by which one seed can produce a harvest.
As the hymn says: “All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above; So thank you, Lord, O thank you, Lord, for all your love.”
At all the services we will collecting dried food which will be given to the “People’s Pantry” https://www.thepeoplespantry.org.uk/ in Market Weighton.
