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-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.
