Welcome to our Parish!

The church is open between 9.30am and 5.00pm on Monday to Saturday, for private prayer and visiting.

Next Sunday is January 12th – when we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord and join our Methodist brothers and sisters at Pannal Methodist Church (Daw Cross) for their Annual Covenant Service.  This will be at 10.00am

At 8.00am in the Chapter House at St Robert’s, there will be a service of Holy Communion according to the Book of Common Prayer

Due to the snowy/icy weather, the 10.30am service of Holy Communion on Thursday, January 9th will be celebrated on-line only…..NO physical attendance in the Chapter House.

To enable repairs to take place, the Church will be closed from Monday, January 6th until towards the end of the month.  Morning Worship on January 19th, and Parish Communion on January 26th will be held at 9.15am in St Michael’s church Beckwithshaw, when at the same time Junior Church will meet in Beckwithshaw Village Hall (next to the church).  All other services and activities during this period will be held in the Chapter House at St Robert’s

Compline will next be sung at 9.00pm (following choir practice) on Thursday, February 20th, 2025

We will continue to lead morning prayer Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (and available afterwards) on YouTube (click here to view these services) and encourage our whole community to pray wherever they are to keep in touch with God and hold our concerns and hopes before him. The ministry team continue to hold all our congregants and parishioners in our daily prayers.

If you would like a prayer said in church for you or someone who is on your heart please contact the clergy.
