The 4th Regiment (Royal Artillery) will hold their Remembrance Service at St Columba's, led by their Chaplain the Rev Dr Henry Afful CF. All service personnel in camp on the day are expected to be present, led by their Commanding Officer Colonel Harry Waller RA. Children from both Alanbrooke Academy and Topcliffe C of E Academy will also attend and both academies, as well as others from our village community, will be involved in parts of the service. The CO particularly hopes that this service will foster a stronger bond of relationship between the barracks and the communities of Topcliffe and Asenby and that as many as possible will be able to attend.

N.B. The PCC has undertaken all relevant risk assessments in the light of Covid-19 guidance over the past 5 years, and these are reviewed regularly. All restrictions have now been lifted.
In colder weather please dress warmly; the heating is on but the church is a large building.
Please note that at Communion services we have reintroduced Communion in two kinds, i.e. sharing the chalice. If you have any problem with this do mention this to the sidesman or churchwarden before the service. Should you prefer not to receive Communion, do come to the chancel for a blessing, indicating this perhaps by keeping your hands to your sides.
Everyone is most welcome, but if you have any doubts about coming to join us do please check here or contact John Phillips (01845 577034) beforehand for further information; every effort will be made to accommodate you. Access is not ideal, as the path is steep, but a temporary ramp can be provided for wheelchair entrance to the church; do let us know if you need this in place.
THANK YOU - WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU.
