Vicar to take part in vigil for homeless
As we all know the 6th of February marks The Queen’s Accession Day in 1952. I am sure that we will all offer a special prayer of thanksgiving for her life and dutiful service of her people over the last 67 years. In 1953 these words spoken by The Queen to women in the...

Churchyard Reordering
Having gone through and satisfied all of the necessary legal requirements the Parochial Church Council has obtained permission from the Diocesan Chancellor to relocate a number of gravestones that are currently located in the Memorial Garden at the front of the Church.
For many years they have posed a real hazard in respect of personal safety; this is particularly so in the winter. The work of relocation will be undertaken with meticulous care by J Rawson and Son using specialist equipment and the stones will be sunk upright in front of the wall that separates the Parish Hall from the Churchyard with the inscriptions visible.
During the removal of the stones the Vicar intends to be on site. Added soil will then be placed on the memorial garden and this will be seeded.
If anyone has any questions or concerns please do hesitate to contact the Vicar.
In Memoriam of Gordon Foote
The bench and engraved stone placed in Holymount Orchard in memory of Gordon Foote was dedicated by the Vicar of Tottington, the Reverend Hugh Bearn on Saturday 17th November at 12o’clock at the Orchard. Following this there was a walk on the West Pennine Way to the Pack Horse at Affetside for lunch.

Prayer
King of kings and Lord of lords, whose faithful servant Charles prayed for those who persecuted him and died in the living hope of your eternal kingdom: grant us by your grace so to follow his example that we may love and bless our enemies, through the intercession of your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
