The Revd Helen Rawlings writes Dear Friends Our Lent groups this year will take place at the Rectory, every Tuesday afternoon during Lent, starting on Tuesday 3rd March at 2 pm. They will be very similar to our monthly Tea at the Rectory with Tea and cakes but we will start with a short discussion about some of the issues of the day and how we respond as Christians. 1. Same sex marriage/civil partnerships: The Bishop’s pastoral letter on this subject has received much criticism including from clergy. Do you have an opinion? Assisted dying: Often in the news, many have called for changes in the law, How do we feel? 2. Global warming: Do we believe it, and if we do, what can we do as individuals and what is our duty as Christians? 3. Asylum seekers or economic refugees. Are we welcoming to those fleeing from areas of conflict? Or are we tempted to blame them for our troubles?

For the fifth week we will have a ‘normal’ Tea and cakes afternoon.

Make a note in your diary Come and See. The Bishop’s Mission to will be visiting Upper Ryedale on Saturday 14th March.

Come and See is the Northern Bishops’ Mission to the Diocese of York, led by the Archbishop of York taking place from 12th to 15th March 2020.

Come and See is an opportunity for us to unite in local mission and evangelism. We pray, we invite, we celebrate and we offer hospitality, all in the power of the Holy Spirit, telling the Good News of Jesus Christ.

DRAMA COMES TO COLD KIRBY! - In a new venture for the village hall we have teamed up the White Lodge Theatre Company to put on John Godber’s “Scary Bikers”, a lively comedy which should put a smile on all our faces. Much of the action takes place in a cafe bar, so we will be setting the hall out cabaret style with a licensed bar and ensuring everyone can see the action while enjoying a glass of something. The play by Yorkshire playwright John Godber won great reviews when it came out in 2018 so it should be an entertaining night. Tickets £10 to include some nibbles. Please book by calling Jerry Walker on 01845 597851 or emailing [email protected] POP-UP PUB NIGHTS AND CAFE MORNINGS - we plan to continue to hold these alternately on the second Saturday of every month. Thanks to everyone who came along to the cafe in February, when the bacon butties seemed to go down well. Next pub night will be from 7.30pm on 14 March. Looking forward to seeing you there. Mini bookmark- for preschool and primary aged children. A chance to share a book, socialise and craft. We are trialling the running of this on a Wednesday evening to fit around various after school activities. Next dates are 18th March, 1st April, with a 5.30pm start. Contact Becky 07985676385 for more details. AGM - New Date – we are postponing the AGM until Monday 27 April. More details in next month’s Parish News. HALL IMPROVEMENTS - as described in last months Parish News we have plans to improve the furniture and fittings in the hall this year. We are still putting the funding together and in addition to our own fund raising the good news is that we have been offered a community grant by the County Council which will cover some of the costs. All ideas for improvements are always welcome. Come along to the AGM to have your say. Hawnby Dominoes At the Village Hall at 7.30pm on Fridays.
