It will be followed by a bring and share lunch.
Can I introduce myself as the new Methodist Minister in Slingsby, following in the footsteps of the much loved Graham Sellers, who tragically died earlier this year. If you think my name is familiar that is because I was Minister here for 9 years from 1994 until 2003 when we moved to Fleetwood. I returned to live in Malton upon my retirement in 2009 and now, much to my surprise find myself working again on a part time basis looking after not only the chapel here in Slingsby but the one at Hovingham as well! I greatly enjoyed the years I was Minister here before and am looking forward to this ‘encore’ which I hope will be equally enjoyable, on both sides. Whilst most of my time will be spent on the life of the chapel I hope, as well, to be able to involve myself in some other activities within the village. If anyone wants to contact me, about any matter, my details are below.
Rev Mike Smith,

A big thank you to all those who turned out on Saturday 25th August while the rain poured down outside to help clean All Saints Church after the building repair work. Particular thanks to John Apps and David Thornley for taking on the high up cleaning in areas which have seen no duster or brush for many years, and where the spiders had run riot.
The church was left sparkling and dust free with clean windows and gleaming brass and silver in time for the Service of Rededication of the church tower by Bishop Martin on 2nd September.
Keeping such a large building in good order is a herculean task. Your help was truly appreciated.

The church Tower appeal continues but is now not too far short of its target. Very many thanks to all those who supported the stalls at the Car Boot Sale on 9th September with contributions to the stalls and help and support on the day. We were exceedingly lucky with the weather; it was almost too hot for comfort! The event raised a magnificent £578. 90. Particular thanks to Pat Calvert for organising the tombola and to the Sports Field committee for their support once again.
