'Sharing Space' in Middle ESK Moor

Tuesday 18 February 2025, Tuesday 04 March 2025, Tuesday 11 March 2025, Tuesday 18 March 2025, Tuesday 25 March 2025, Tuesday 01 April 2025, Tuesday 08 April 2025, Tuesday 15 April 2025, Tuesday 29 April 2025, Tuesday 13 May 2025, Tuesday 27 May 2025 Tuesday at for 2 hours, 30 mins
different locations each session - please contact us for further information.

The language used by the church and occasionally by us all, to discuss faith, religion or belief can often be confusing, misinterpreted and for some alienating. The purpose of this small group is to create a space where language and concepts can be explored safely, and greater insight developed. The group meets every two weeks and is open to all, of faith and no faith. A space to listen, share and question.

This is one of a series of new and exciting experiments we are running across our chrches: do come along and experience something a little different.

Please contact Reverend Anthony for further information: [email protected] or 01947 899843.

Safeguarding

Our Benefice (comprising the parishes of Glaisdale and Lealholm, Egton, Grosmont and Goathland) is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs). Our Diocese’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSOs.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact one of our PSOs, via the 'Safeguarding in our Benefice' page at the link below.

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
