OUR VICAR GEARS UP FOR HIS NEW ROLE
Parish Bicycle Tour Marks Energetic Start to New Ministry
On Monday 16th April the church family welcomed Rev Andrew Ison, his wife Julie and their two daughters Emma and Clare. At a special service Andrew was inducted as vicar of our new group of churches comprising All Saints’ Driffield, St Mary’s Little Driffield and the Wolds churches of St Peter’s Langtoft with Foxholes, St Nicholas Butterwick, Cottam and All Saints’ Thwing.
On the following Saturday 21st April, Andrew cycled across his large benefice to visit each of the six churches in turn to begin to get to know his new parishes and people. He set off to arrive at the first church, All Saints’ Thwing, by 10.00am, and progressed to each church in turn, arriving finally at All Saints’ Driffield, slightly ahead of schedule, at 3.15pm. His family joined the tour by car. People and refreshments awaited each ‘pit stop’ and a good time was had by all.
This was the first time Andrew had had his racing bike out for 5 years. Whilst in the Netherlands he had been using a ‘sit up and beg’ bike’. As he said beforehand:
“I am really looking forward to the day and the chance to tour the parishes. For the last few years I have been used to cycling in the very flat Netherlands, so the steep roads on the Wolds may prove a bit of a challenge, but I’m up for it. The ride will provide a great opportunity to meet and begin to get to know people and the communities.”
So it proved. Andrew covered the distance comfortably, despite some steep hills and heavy rain at times. He even had opportunity to meet a traveller up on the Wolds and have a serious conversation which he hopes will be of help to him.
We plan to post some photos of the event in the monthly newsletter (follow link on this page).
Welcome to this web-site for All Saints, Driffield and St Mary's, Little Driffield in the heart of the beautiful Wolds of East Yorkshire.
We live in a part of God's creation that is unspoilt in its beauty and rich in its capacity to produce food. The town of Driffield , called the ‘Capital of the Wolds ' has long been associated with Christian life and activity. It was a centre of Methodism and boasted many chapels as well as three Anglican Churches.
Today's landscape has changed and the town is growing as a commuter base. But most exciting of all is the work we see God doing as our churches grow, not least in unity with our sister churches.
There is an air of expectancy as we wait to see where God is leading us in mission and ministry to a fast changing town and its hinterland.
This web-site simply shows where we are, and hints at where we may be going under God's guidance. We look forward to the future with confidence in God good grace.
