*Give thanks for God’s patience with us and confidence that his will be done.

FORTHCOMING EVENTS  AROUND THE PARISHES

MASHAM
Churchyard Map
We now have a map of the Churchyard showing the locations of all 1400+ headstones.  There is an alphabetic list of surnames and a map grid location from which searchers can use with the map to find the location outside.  So if, when you are admiring the aconites, snowdrops and later wildflowers, you are asked about a particular headstone you can take/refer them to the maps and list.  The two maps (north and south on hardboard each the size of a broadsheet newspaper opened out) and an 8 A4 page list live in the library/cards shelves near the door.

Printer Cartridges
Thank you to all those, from right across our group of parishes, who have been saving their used printer cartridges and giving them to us for recycling. Since April we have raised an amazing £109 and saved 282 from going into landfill. Please keep collecting and leave them in the box at the back of church or give them to Jane Mansell or any member of North Stainley Church. 




WEST TANFIELD
The current work at St Nicholas’ Church, West Tanfield, on the installation of toilet facilities, changes to the position of the font and creation of a new vestry have now started up again for the new year. This may well mean that church is closed during the week and only open when services take place. For further information please contact the church warden.


PLEASE let Judith know of any plans you have for your Spring and Easter events and you would like them to be included in these and the email notices, please contact Judith Richards at ad.mashamparishes@gmail.com.
