Message from Revd Liz Hassall

I’m going to begin this month by sharing with you some news, which was announced on 3rd June. Some of you will have already heard, but do keep reading as I have more to say.

Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of , is pleased to announce the appointment of the Revd Liz Hassall as Priest-in-Charge of the York City Centre Group, comprising St Olave with St Giles, St Denys, St Helen Stonegate with St Martin Coney Street, and All Pavement with St Crux and St Michael Spurriergate.

This is fully endorsed by the Representatives of these parishes. Liz is currently Rector of Coxwold and Husthwaite, and Crayke with and Yearsley, having been ordained deacon and priest in this Diocese.

Subject to any public health restrictions, Liz will be licensed to her new role in the days leading up to Christmas 2020.

This is not goodbye just yet – part of the reason for postponing the start of my new post until Christmas is to allow time to begin leading us out of lockdown and discovering how the Church will be in the future.

Since the announcement was made, I have been so touched by all the messages of support and thanks I have received. It is often difficult to tell in ministry whether things are going well or if you are making any difference at all. In my seven and a half years here, I have learned so much from you all about how to be a priest. Thank you all for being lovely parishioners to serve.

The churchwardens have asked me to mention that they are willing to answer any queries and concerns that you may have about the upcoming vacancy. Please do contact them, or me, if there is anything you think we can help with.

Revd Liz

2 Open churches - the difference between MAY and WILL I begin this article with a caveat – things move fast at the moment in politics. This may well be out of date by the time you read it. Please check the current situation with the clergy or wardens.

It was announced in early June that church buildings may open from 13th June for private prayer and reflection only. This is indeed cause for celebration. However, some of the headlines in the papers were a little premature – just because something may happen doesn’t mean it will, or at least not straight away. Our churches are public buildings and, as such, are required to be safe places for people to visit. We can’t just throw the doors open and go back to how things were in February. There are pages of government and church guidelines and rules which we are trying to work with in order to ensure we comply and this takes time. Part of the requirements are to clean, daily, those parts of the building that people may have touched. Where this is not possible, there must be a gap of 72 hours between each period of opening. At present, Coxwold church has recruited a team of cleaners so they are able to open daily. Access is limited to a small part of the church. Please comply with the directions and do not go in any taped off areas. Husthwaite and Crayke churches plan to open twice a week for short periods. Please consult notices on the door, or contact the warden or Liz to find out more. Husthwaite church will be open on Sundays 9am - 1pm and Wednesdays 2 - 6pm.

Wass remains closed due to planned building work. Brandsby church will open on Saturdays between 11.30am and 12.30pm. Plans for the other churches are not yet finalised. In all cases, 3 please use the hand sanitiser provided and maintain the customary 2m social distancing. I know that some people reading this will be rolling your eyes at the bureaucracy. Please bear in mind that the majority of people who use our churches regularly are in the vulnerable or extremely vulnerable category. We have a responsibility not to put anyone’s life in danger. Thank you for your patience and I look forward to welcoming you back into our buildings in the near future.

For now, please join us at http://bylandchurches.net for worship and keep the use of the church buildings for private prayer and reflection.

Until further notice all Annual Parochial and District Church Meetings are cancelled

Public services are currently suspended but the life and work of the Church continues. Find us online at bylandchurches.net or phone Revd Liz on 01347 822809 or 07388 510984 for prayer and pastoral support. Readings for July can be found on page 14

You are advised to seek up to date advice before you try to attend any event.

4 Archbishop lays down his crozier on the high altar at York Minster as his last act as Archbishop of York

The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu, accompanied by his wife, the Revd Margaret Sentamu, laid down his crozier of office on the high altar of York Minster on Sunday 7th June.

The Dean of York, the Rt Revd Dr Jonathan Frost and Head Verger Alex Carberry were witnesses to this final act as Archbishop.

The Dean of York said, “Today, in the simple and symbolic act of laying down his crozier, Archbishop Sentamu brought his ministry as Archbishop of York to a close. In current circumstances we have been unable to fulfil our hope to gather together for a service. However, in households and communities across the Diocese of York, the North and Nation, those whose lives have been graced by Sentamu and Margaret give thanks for their witness to the joy, simplicity and compassion of the good news of Jesus Christ.”

On 8 June 2020, Archbishop Sentamu concludes nearly 15 years in his role as Archbishop of York. He has served in ordained ministry within the Church of for 41 years. The Archbishop will continue to live in the North of England, and has said he will continue with his work on the case for income equality and sustainability.

“The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future”.

The Rt Revd Dr John Sentamu

5 Election of Bishop Stephen Cottrell as 98th Archbishop of York Bishop Stephen Cottrell’s appointment as Archbishop of York will be completed in the Confirmation of Election ceremony to be held at 11.00am on Thursday, 9th July, in a service that will be broadcast entirely via video conference due to the Coronavirus restrictions. The service will be available on the Church of England website at www.churchofengland.org Arrangements for Bishop Stephen’s Enthronement service at York Minster will be announced later in the year.

“I now look forward to returning and being a voice for the North, sharing the liberating good news of the gospel and helping to address the discrepancies of wealth and opportunity that too often favour the South.”

The Rt Revd Stephen Cottrell

Prayer on the Election of the Archbishop of York

Generous God, we give you thanks: you have heard our prayer, guided your people and raised up Stephen to serve as the next Archbishop of York. By your Holy Spirit, grant to him good counsel, holy insight and joy in the gospel, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

There they will find posters providing the phone numbers of the key support services, as well as helplines whom they can call without fear of their abuser eavesdropping on them. Article reproduced by kind permission of Parish Pump

8 News from Crayke Parish Council

Community Spirit Lives On Looking back after 12 weeks of Coronavirus restrictions, or lockdown, it is clear that our local communities have generally responded with great restraint, self-control and good neighbourliness. It’s very easy to look at recent media coverage of protests and riots in the cities and think that all our responsibility and hard work has been wasted. But remember, the misguided actions of a few hundred, even a few thousand is insignificant compared with the caring and responsibility that has been shown by millions.

And like the serene swan gliding across the lake, there is much activity below the surface. Our key workers, in health and caring, in our schools, transport and supply sectors have all been hard at work so that many of us could stay safe at home.

Even Crayke Parish Council has met twice by Zoom video call: Planning matters are still dealt with, essential duties continue, and community concerns are heard and debated. (Anyone can join these virtual meetings! Our next scheduled meeting is Tuesday 21st July at 7.30pm).

The Crayke History Group has also been ticking along and thanks to Felicity and Judy we now have a Crayke History Trail Guide in final draft form, soon to be available to download via our web site, and possibly even via an App! Check www.craykehistory.uk for the latest.

Our thanks to all of you for keeping our community spirit alive and well. We will all get together soon. Meanwhile keep up the good work, and enjoy those Zoom quizzes and that daily exercise!

Dog Poo in Brandsby

Would dog walkers please pick up their dog poo and take it home. There has been a huge increase in the number of bags of dog poo left on roadsides, footpaths, bridle paths and even on top of fence posts. This is very disappointing behaviour spoiling the beautiful countryside we live in.

You may not be aware but dog poo can cause serious diseases in sheep. Disease transmitted to sheep through dog poo can be fatal, and can cause unpleasant effects such as impaired vision, and neurological symptoms. Some disease can cause sheep’s meat to be contaminated, making the animal worthless.

Please act responsibly, take your dog poo home, or place in the special bins provided in the village situated near the bus shelter and near the Notice Board. Close gates, keep to the footpaths or bridal paths and let everyone enjoy the countryside.

Use your old clothes to help others in poverty

Lockdown drove many of us to do a Spring clear-out of our ward- robes. But what do you do now with the old clothes you no longer want?

Charity shops may be closed for the time being, but there's still a way to donate your old items and support your favourite charities. Just go online and visit Thrift+. Photo by Charles Deluvio on Unsplash It is an online store where you can buy and donate great quality second-hand clothes. And you get to choose which cause to support when you make a donation.

While lockdown measures are in place, they've introduced a door- step collection service, so you don't need to leave your home to support life-transforming charities.

News from Wass

Wass Closed Gardens On Sunday June 7th Wass would have been alive with visitors, Morris dancers, teas and tombola. Sadly, our open gardens and scarecrow display had to be cancelled this year.

A suggestion was made that we could open some of our gardens just to people in the village, strictly observing social distancing. So that afternoon nine gardens were opened. A map was provided with house names and host names. People who wanted to visit the gardens sent in a request via the community email group and a timetable was drawn up giving the visitors 15 minutes in each garden. Luckily the weather was fair. Our closed garden event was rated as being very successful. Individuals who were usually doing teas, running tombola or organising parking had a chance this year to visit gardens. New people moving into the village had a chance to meet neighbours and we had a chance to welcome them to Wass.

We raised £100 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance thanks to people's generosity in parting with cash for some handmade ceramics. Altogether it was a welcome afternoon in these strange times.

16 Free national phoneline bringing worship and prayer Government figures show that 2.5 million people aged 75 and above have never used the internet. And so, to help them, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, recently launched a free national phoneline to bring worship and prayer into the homes of those without access to the internet.

Daily Hope, which is available 24 hours a day on 0800 804 8044 – offers music, prayers and reflections as well as full worship services from the Church of England.

“With many in our country on lockdown, it’s important that we support those who are feeling lonely and isolated, whatever age they are."
