During February 2025 we are thinking about stewardship: the time, talents and treasure with which God has blessed us, and the ways in which we use them for God's purposes and for the improvement of Christ's church. Our Growing Younger Minister, Ruth, and the parishes of Bampton, Crosby Ravensworth and Morland, can all be supported online using the Parish Giving Scheme: click here for more details.
"All things come from you, and of your own do we give you." (1 Chronicles 29:14)

All parishes are required to discard their existing electoral roll every six years and start a new one from scratch. If you are on the existing roll of a parish, the electoral roll officer may be in touch to invite you to renew. You can download a copy of the paper form from here. You can also quickly and simply submit your application electronically via the Benefice website and we will ensure that the correct electoral roll officer receives your application.

The North Westmorland Benefice is a group of Church of England parishes, meeting regularly in eleven church buildings and two further closed churches now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
The Benefice includes the parishes of Askham and Lowther; Bampton with Mardale; Bolton; Clifton and Brougham; Crosby Ravensworth; Great Strickland; Morland (which includes Cliburn and Thrimby); and Shap with Swindale.
Our highest priority is to grow younger: not to abandon our traditional congregations, but to be a community for every age, background and spiritual preference. We would love you to join us on our journey together.

A late Easter gives us four weeks between Epiphany and Lent. Our programme for Lent, Holy Week and Easter can be found below, while in schools and youth groups we continue to think about the Kingdom of God, an image of divine perfection that many of us glimpse most clearly in the sights and sounds of Creation. Ordinary Time is anything but ordinary.

Our parishes aspire to be the church in every place, offering regular worship and other activities for the benefit of the communities in which they work.
Each Sunday, we offer a variety of different services, led by different ministers and lay teams, to suit a variety of spiritual needs and preferences.
