In CHURCH, MOTHERING SUNDAY

MOTHERING SUNDAY SERVICE – 31 MARCH @ 10:30

Join us for a special Mothering Sunday service on 31 March at 10:30 celebrating & remembering the wonderful women in our lives.

In days gone by Mothering Sunday became a day when domestic servants were given a day off to visit their mother church, usually with their own mothers and other family members. It was often the only time that whole families could gather together, since on other days they were prevented from doing so by conflicting working hours.

Children and young people who were “in service” (as household servants) were given a day off on that date so they could visit their families (or, originally, return to their “mother” church). The children would pick wild flowers along the way to place in the church or give to their mothers.

REORDERING OF THE CHURCH

Dear Friends,

As you are probably aware an appeal was launched several months ago to undertake some significant repairs to the tower at St Mary’s church which I’m pleased to report should be undertaken during the course of 2019. We are eternally gratefully for everyone who has and continues to support our appeal.

We now see this as an opportune time to consider how we may be able to reorder some of the internal parts of our church building in ways to make it a major centre for the day to day life of Tickhill, where people can gather to enjoy activities which are perhaps presently not available elsewhere. The vision is that St. Mary’s church is inclusive to everyone, regular churchgoers or not, and still keeping its integrity as being a central place of Christian worship and witness in the community, this being our parish church.

Churches are being encouraged to develop their use as a sustainable community resource and St. Mary’s wishes to move in this direction to actively play our part in fulfilling the needs of today’s people and for the generations that follow. It would be great if you could help us with this important and exciting work.

In working towards this goal, we would love to hear what facilities you think we might be able to provide to make this wonderful medieval building a welcoming place to the whole community.

Please come along to a very informal gathering to be held in church on Saturday 06 April at 2.00 p.m. when we would very much look forward to seeing you and hear your views, all of which are important to us. Please put this date in your diary and I look forward to seeing you there.

Every blessing

Revd Ali

In TOWER APPEAL

ST MARY’S CHURCH TICKHILL, TOWER APPEAL

ST MARYS CHURCH TICKHILL

For over 900 years the tower of St. Mary’s Parish Church has magnificently adorned our skyline. This wonderful medieval building, with all its history, is at the very centre of our community. It has reached out to previous generations and, with your help, will continue to do so for generations to come.

The age of the building and its remorseless exposure to the ever-changing British weather has brought with it an important conservation need. Some of the external high level louvred belfry windows and some internal stonework are now in urgent need of repair.

We really do need your help.

To do this work, will cost around £100,000. Please help us by making your donation towards our “Tower Appeal”so that the damaged stone- work may be replaced and the Tower made safe for everyone to enjoy. Your donation really does matter. Please select the one option below that suits you best. If you are a tax payer you can Gift-Aid your donation which will add a further 25% of your gift to our appeal at no additional cost to you.
