Over seventy people attended a very interesting talk on Rosedale’s barn owls, held in St Mary and St Lawrence Church on Wednesday 6 March. The event was in aid of the Save Rosedale Church Appeal and raised the magnificent sum of £978 from donations and an auction of a print of owlets on an owl box.
Heartfelt thanks to the volunteers who set up and hosted this very successful evening.
There will be a Communion Service in St Mary and St Lawrence Church, Rosedale Abbey, on Sunday 21 January at 9.15am taken by Rev David Haddon-Reece, his first full Communion Service since his recent ordination:
All are most welcome!
Our local curate, David Haddon-Reece, was ordained by Paul, Bishop of Whitby, at St Mary’s Church, Lastingham on Sunday 7 December at 3.00pm. The church was packed as the congregation drawn from all five churches in the benefice witnessed the joyous culmination of a long spiritual journey for David.
All in the benefice and particularly those in Rosedale wish David all the very best for his ministry with us.
The Remembrance Sunday Service will take place by the War Memorial Cross in Rosedale Abbey churchyard on Sunday 122 November starting at 10.50am.
All are most welcome to come along and honour the memories of all those who gave their lives in the service of their country.
