The churches involved in this group are Thornhill Methodist Church, Thornhill Parish Church, Thornhill Lees Parish Church, Ravensthorpe Parish Church and Whitley Parish Church and Fresh Expressions Thornhill.
Events are organised throughout the year to witness to our continuing 'growing together in Christ'
Lent is a particular time for working together with study groups, a meal with a celebration of the Last Supper or Agape. A joint procession of witness takes place every year on Good Friday from the Town to 'The Cross' with a wooden cross carried and then erected for several weeks as a symbol of the resurrection.

Annual Report 2010 The Annual Report by the Chair Mrs Barbara Chappell_ Good evening, Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Churches Together Annual General Meeting. It really doesn’t seem twelve months since I was saying this in 2009.On the whole we have had a good year together, however, we were very sorry to lose the Rev Lindsay Dew after his marriage and move to a new parish in Hertfordshire. We wish him well In his new life. This year has taken a similar course to previous years, with Lentlumches taking place in each of the five churches. These were all very appetising andreasonably well attended. However. There were no Lent study groups , although members from other churches joined Thornhill Parish Church in their Bible Study meetings.This coming year (20l0), we are hoping to run a York course with meetings on Sunday evenings at Thomhill Parish Church. We did have a Palm Sunday service at Whitley Parish Church. The events in Holy Week were well supported as usual. The Wednesday meeting took the form of a Christian Passover, at which there were about 60 people present. On Good Friday children’s activities took place at Thornhill Methodist Church,followed by a short service and procession of witness to the Cross in Thornl1il1. Once again these were well attended and we were blessed with a fine day. In November we had a Quiz night at Thornhill Methodist Church, followed by an excellent meat and potato pie supper. Our year together ended with the Week of Prayer service in Thornhill Social Club on Sunday, January 17th, with about 60 people attending. This number was down on last year, but maybe the cold weather could account for this. Finally, I would once again thank you all for the support that you have given to Brian and I throughout the year. Thank you.
Thank you.
