York Archdeaconry Rural Ministry Open Day
October 16
Can you see yourself at the heart of village communities, sharing our York Diocesan vision of Living Christ’s Story, and building up the people of your parishes in mission and ministry?
In the beautiful Archdeaconry of York we have three rural vacancies which we would like to share with you during our Rural Benefices Open Day. Come and pray with us, and discern whether God is calling you to join us.
Buckrose Carrs Benefice is a group of 6 parishes between the North Yorkshire Moors and the Yorkshire Wolds, along the A64. The vacancy has previously been advertised as a House for Duty Post but it is hoped that this can be offered as a full-time post.
Garrowby Hill Benefice is a group of 5 parishes 15 miles east of York and is a half-stipend post. Their worship includes formal sacramental and informal family worship, enabling people to find a home to nurture their Christian faith.
Rural Ainsty Benefice is a single parish covering five churches and offers a half-stipend post to the west of York. They are a flock seeking a shepherd and excited to explore God’s plans for His Kingdom among their communities.
The Open Day will include a tour of the three benefices, stopping at each to share their hospitality, meet key people and hear their future plans. Accommodation will be provided on the evening of Wednesday 15th October.
For further information and to book your place please contact the Acting Archdeacon of York, Liz Hassall, via her PA Gill at gill.baldwin@yorkdiocese.org or phone 07949 863557.
