Precious end to Whitby deanery pilgrimage with @antrbennett.bsky.social & Middle Esk Moor Benefice at St James, Lealholm for Easter Sunday Eucharist followed by a deeply moving private confirmation for a lady in her 10th decade! Such encouraging 4 days seeing God at work @dioceseofyork.bsky.social

A very Happy Easter to all our friends from the team at Middle Esk Moor: He is Risen indeed, Alleluia!

Thanks to everyone that has decorated our lovely church buildings with beautiful flower displays at this special time.

Much joy, thanksgiving and praise to God as @antrbennett.bsky.social is licensed as Priest in Charge of the Middle Esk benefice @dioceseofyork.bsky.social in the beautiful North York Moors.

Alas I left my bus pass at home but they were kind enough not to charge...

It was a real joy and privilege to be licensed on a permanent basis to our wonderful Middle Esk Moor parishes today! Here's to the months and years ahead as we continue to build God's Kingdom together.
Reverend Anthony.
