Church Community

 

On our Church Community page you can find out about social and spiritual activities and events that are planned.

Christian Meditation:

Father Christopher welcomes everyone to come along and take part in the Meditation sessions which will be held every Saturday at 10.30 am in the house at St Chad’s. Everyone welcome

Book Group

St Chad’s Book Group meet each month on second Tuesdays at 10.30 am in Kirkbymoorside Library, and everyone is welcome. Being in the Book Group widens our reading and sparks memories of personal experiences.  The discussions are invariably stimulating and there is always some laughter! We get to know each by sharing our thoughts in a friendly environment.

Starting life in September 2004, the first ever book for the group was Alexander McCall Smith’s The Full Cupboard of Life, which gave the group a great start for subsequent meetings! 

We have enjoyed visits from a local author, made trips to places of interest and always enjoy opportunities for sharing meals together.  Please note there is no Book Group in August.

Spiritual Outreach – Events and Services

As a Church Community within Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley market towns, we actively support and participate in Events and Services with Ryedale Christian Council and Churches Together.

Churches Together at Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley

Churches Together in Kirkbymoorside in partnership with Next Steps and Ryedale Carers run a “Community Lunch” at the Methodist church.  It runs every Thursday from 12.30 to 2.00 pm and they are looking for volunteers to help serve lunch.   If you are able to help please call in any Thursday and let them know you are willing to volunteer.  Thank You.

St Chad’s & St Mary’s Churches  – Supporting Local Food-bank
As a Parish we regularly support the Foodbank thanks to your generous donations.  So, we urge you all to continue this support even more so when this need has increased.
Items of non-perishable food can be left in the box in the church porch and will be delivered to the Methodist Church for distribution. Thank You
