All Saints Church

Services...

The ancient and beautiful church of All Saints is situated in a prominent position towards the northern end of the village. For the last two years Beckingham has been part of a Benefice of four parishes with sister churches in Walkeringham, Misterton and West Stockwith. All four are the responsibility of the Vicar (Priest in Charge) whose Vicarage and office are located in Misterton. All Saints church holds at least one service every Sunday, at least two per month of which are services of Holy Communion, and there is also a mid week service of Holy Communion. Much importance is placed on meeting the particular needs of young people and families with children and the Benefice employs a licenced lay reader who specialises in promoting this type of ministry both in the four churches and in the village schools.

Following the announcement that Beckingham Methodist Chapel was to close, the Methodist Church Council and Anglican PCC have agreed that both congregations will hold their services together in All Saints Church. A formal arrangement has been drawn up by both churches, known as Local Ecumenical Partnership. The first service was held on 26th August 2007 at 10.30am. Thereafter representatives of each church will devise a pattern of services embracing and respecting both traditions of worship. Everyone is invited to go along and join the services and help the partnership flourish.
