During the winter months beginning on Advent Sunday, we cease to meet to worship in Ford church and move to the Chapel of the Virgin Mary at Etal. Parking is in the village hall car park and the service of Holy Communion begins at 11am.
When there are five Sundays in the month, the fifth Sunday service will be at 10am with all 3 parishes worshipping together.
Our parish of Ford And Etal 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 Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Newcastle’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO:
Mrs Dee Colam
Mob: 07801 822851
Email: [email protected]
or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor:

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
