“The Associate Priest and Parochial Church Council of Spofforth with Kirk Deighton inc Follifoot and Little Ribston acting jointly authorise dispensing with the reading of Morning and Evening Prayer as required by Canon B11 and the celebration of the Holy Communion as required by Canon B14 on the following occasions: from and including Ash Wednesday 17 February until Palm Sunday 28 March. The reason for the dispensation is that in the light of the Government’s guidance on preventing the spread of Coronavirus, there is no church in the benefice which can be used safely for public worship on those occasions.”

  However, the Associate Priest continues to pray every morning and evening for the parish, the world and those in need.  If you have any particular requests for prayer, please contact Rev'd Barbara Ryan on telephone number 01937 590377.
