Village News
The April-May edition of the Village News magazine is now available. It went to print just days before the announcement of the Revd Paul Richardson's appointment as the new vicar of Bardsey and East Keswick, and so there is no mention of this to be found but still plenty about church and village events, as we enjoy spring and the promise of warmer weather to come.
Library
In both of our churches you will find a selection of books, which we are gradually building into a library. Whilst they cover a variety of topics, they are, as you might expect, non-fiction and generally looking at Christian topics, or at least topics from a Christian viewpoint. They are free to borrow so have a look and see if some might be of interest.
Climate Action
As Christians we have a responsibility to take care of God's creation. One of the greatest threats it faces today is climate change. We need to act as individuals and as churches to address it. The Diocese of Leeds aims to be carbon net zero by 2030 in line with the Church of England and have developed the Saving Creation Strategy. This short video gives an introduction.
Saving Creation - Strategic Action to Combat Climate Change
Our two churches have already made great strides to become Eco churches and we will continue to strive to become net zero in line with our Environment policy.

The church really helps me put life in perspective, particularly when I've had a challenging week.
