House for Duty Priest for the benefices of ... - Diocese of York

Family Work
St Peter’s holds a ‘Messy Church’ event approximately four times a year to
coincide with dates such as Advent, Mothers Day and Harvest. This attracts
families who do not attend Sunday worship. Numbers are increasing at this
event. We also aim other services specifically for families which include; the
Nativity Service, Mothering Sunday, Father’s Day, Harvest Festival and a Good
Friday Workshop held in the Village Hall.
In conjunction with the Methodist Children and Family Worker, a small group
go to the St. Peter's C of E Voluntary Aided Primary School on Monday
mornings to enact Bible stories from a publication called 'Open The Book'.
There are also Godly Play activities with the children in years 5 and 6.
Our verger, Maureen East is actively involved in the work with children and
families and is ably supported by parents and a couple who do Godly Play.
Church of England Primary School
The St. Peter's C of E Voluntary Aided Primary School in the Diocese of York is
maintained by North Yorkshire Local Education Authority. The school offers
small classes and personalised learning within a very happy caring
environment, in which faith is respected and honoured. Children move on to
secondary education in usually either Boroughbridge or Easingwold.
Village Life

or for private functions. Being well equipped it is used for various activities
such as badminton, gardening club, amateur dramatics, the W.I., Local
History Group, Monday Club for senior citizens, Yoga, circuit training,
