Much joy, thanksgiving and praise to God as @antrbennett.bsky.social is licensed as Priest in Charge of the Middle Esk benefice @dioceseofyork.bsky.social in the beautiful North York Moors.

Alas I left my bus pass at home but they were kind enough not to charge...

There’s something very special about gathering at Christmas to sing, hear the story again, and share a moment of peace and hope. Bring the children, bring a friend, or just come quietly on your own β€” you will be warmly welcomed.
