There but not There 2019

‘There but Not there’

Our installation this year commemorates all the 31 men and one woman

    from Thornhill who gave their lives in the Second World War.
     From the 9^th October each Wednesday and Sunday
  Outlines of figures will be placed around the church.                                          Each one will commemorate 3 or 4 people who died.

Only 4 of them are buried in the Thornhill Churchyard. Our file on them indicates the widely different roles they played- pilot, sickbay attendant, musician ,driver, telegraphist, stoker and more. They are buried or just named in cemeteries around the world.

We hope the installation will be a personal and moving tribute to them.

Remember Those who died for Freedom and Peace

1939-1945

Our Let there be music project ended today with a celebration concert. The project has seen the organ restored, a community choir formed, a new organist in post, three major singing and music projects with our brilliant primary schools. So over 100 children singing, playing ukeleles and brass instruments , a new community choir joining them. Our 'Thornhill is the only place i would like to be' song was reprised. The theme: love, peace and care for our planet. Through music we all learned about the importance of community and care for our world. Well done everyone. Thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund ,Musica Kirklees and more.

What an amazing concert it was with three choirs, brass, ukeleles and more here is the link for the photos

Sunday 9th June

Join us at Thornhill at 8.00 for Holy Communion then we celebrate a joint Benefice service at Thornhill at 10.30am. Our Reader of many years, Mark Naylor is leaving our parish and after the service there will be a light lunch as we celebrate with him and wish him all the very best as he leaves us to follow God's path for his future.

There are lists at the back of both churches if you wish to bring a contribution to the buffet: Thornhill are providing savoury food and Whitley the desserts.

Karen Liles

We are sad to announce the passing of the longest serving member of our church choir. Karen Lyles died last night in Kirkwood Hospice with her family around her. Karen will be sorely missed not only for her lovely voice but her loving, caring and fun personality. Her daughter Lizzie is in our choir and is training up her two sons Harry and James and her niece Poppy to follow grandma. Love and Blessings to you

Happy Easter 2019 Christ is Risen Alleluia
