Welcome to
The Benefice of Harton
Eight parishes make up our Benefice and all have a commitment to work together as a worshipping community. Just outside York and nestling at the foot of the Howardian Hills, our ten Churches and fourteen villages are usually delightful places to visit and explore. Check out the 'Our Churches' tab for an online tour of the churches.
As The Covid-19 pandemic restrictions ease somewhat, church buildings may be open at times for personal prayer. At least one church in the Benefice is open most days of the week - see the Covid-19 Guidance page of this website for updated information.
We can also begin once more to hold services in church, albeit with limitations. We begin in August with a weekly said service of BCP Evensong on Sundays at 5pm. Check the Calendar to find out where the services will be held.
We continue however to offer our usual warm welcome at 10am each Sunday for Worship Online. Our 'Conversation at 10' on Wednesday mornings is taking a break during August, but will be back again in September.
Messy Church also continues online - though the 'mess' may be in your home rather than one of our village halls!
We are using the video-conferencing medium of 'Zoom' and email invitations are sent by Revd. Chris a few days before each event.
If you are not presently receiving the email invitations and would like to do so then please contact:
For Sunday morning Worship online and Wednesday 'Conversation at 10'
- Revd Chris Wingfield: chris.wingfield@btinternet.com
For Messy Church - Our Children and Youth Worker
- Rachael Harrison: rachaelyouthharton@gmail.com
For more information about each event, see 'This Week' on this page or the Calendar where you can download 'Worship at Home' - the order of service we are using as well as the readings for Sundays and, on Wednesdays, more about the topics we will be discussing from your home over a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit.
On the Covid-19 section of this website you can also find links to other online services and resources available in our Southern Ryedale Deanery, the Diocese of York and the Church of England.
Remember - though we may not shake you by the hand, we look forward to offering you our warmest welcome online!
Yours in Christ
