What’s on at Whitkirk

2.00 pm – 3.00 pmPilgrims in the Park

Pilgrims in the Park has now re-started for the summer season and will continue until October.  Pilgrims in the Park is an opportunity for worship and fellowship in the open air.  We meet at the Lodge Car Park at Temple Newsam for a short service, consisting of a reading, a reflection, and prayers.  Then we go for a walk together as we ponder what we have heard.  We end in the cafe for a cuppa (or an ice-cream, depending on the weather).  If the weather is bad, we will cut the walk short and head straight for the cafe!  All are welcome, whether regular worshippers or just those interested in coming for a walk.

2.15 pm – 3.00 pmSummer Concert Series - What Larks! (A cappella folk harmony trio)

12.00 am – 11.59 pmTrip to Lincoln

You are invited to join us for a trip to Lincoln. Full details to follow, including costs, but we will be leaving Whitkirk in the morning by coach to travel to Lincoln. The cost of the trip will include entry to the cathedral with a guided tour and a free organ recital by the cathedral's organ scholar, Yipeng Xu. 

There is a cafe in the cathedral and many cafes and restaurants nearby, or you can bring a packed lunch. There will be some free time to explore the city or the nearby castle.

The cost is likely to be in the region of £25-£30 per person, but please do let us know if the cost is prohibitive for you, as we may be able to help.

For now we are just taking names in order to have an idea of potential numbers, but we will be asking you to confirm your attendance (and to pay) after Easter.

9.30 am – 2.30 pmQuiet Day: Blessing

'The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.' You are invited to this Quiet Day, led by Rev'd Claire on behalf of Churches Together in East Leeds, which will explore the notion of blessing, taking the so-called 'Aaronic blessing' as a starting-point. Allowing participants space to reflect and explore, it will encourage them to recognise the blessings that God pours out upon them and, simultaneously, to recognise themselves as bearers of that blessing to others and to the world. There is no charge for attendance.  Please bring your own lunch.  Tea and coffee provided.  RSVP to [email protected] to give us an idea of numbers.
