A warm welcome to the Riverside Parishes of All Saints Hurworth with St John the Baptist Low Dinsdale and All Saints Girsby
Whether you’re a resident, visiting the area, thinking of moving here or would just like to find out more about our anglican church beliefs, you are very welcome and we would love you to come and join us on a Sunday and say hello.
In all our different styles of worship, we seek above all to meet with the living God. We come not just with our faith, but also with our doubts and our questions, as we all try to discover more of how the good news of Jesus can transform our lives.

Covid-secure arrangements
Practical arrangements will be as before, including:
- masks for everyone unless exempt or leading
- social distancing
- hand gel / washing
- contact tracing
While we remain in national lockdown and socialising in groups is prohibited, we must not gather before or after church, neither in the church centre nor outside. We share a responsibility to look after one another.
40 families joined in the Carol Service on December 22nd and was enjoyed by all.
COVID-19 and GOD
Covid-19, the coronavirus, is now affecting people all around the world. As it spreads, it increasingly comes closer and is a threat to everyone of us.
There is a powerful message here about equality. Probably the best known of all of Jesus’ sayings “God loved the world so much, he sent his Son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). “The world” is totally inclusive, no one is left out. “Whoever” is totally inclusive, no one is barred.
As God looks at the world, all are his favourites. Nobody and no one nation has a higher place than another. All, anyone anywhere, can be touched by the ‘virus’ of his love.
‘Hurworth Friday Hangout’
Suspended until further notice
We have started a new Youth Group for people slightly younger than those who come to our Friday drop-in. This is aimed at school years 5 and 6 and offers games, craft activities and tuck box. It is not a ‘drop-in’, and children attend for the whole of each session. It is on the first Friday of each month, from 5-6.30pm. The cost is £1 per child per evening.
Bell Ringing
Bell ringing has resumed, though with reduced numbers to ensure safety.
Would you like to watch or try bell ringing at All Saints Hurworth? Practice starts each Thursday evening at 7.30pm, all are welcome. Please contact Mike Hodgson on 01609 881726 for more information.

Children
All Saints Hurworth welcomes children: like Jesus, we value their contribution to our life together. There is an unsupervised creche area near the front of church. Fresh age appropriate materials are provided each week on the table to help children discover more about Jesus. There are also toys and books. We do not expect children to be silent or inactive! Parents/guardians are responsible for the safety of their children at all times. On the 3rd Sunday at 10.30 All Age Worship is particularly appropriate for young families - it is an informal, more inter-active service lasting 45mins.
