Guiseley Churchyard

Leeds City Council maintains the grass in Guiseley churchyard; families are technically responsible for their graves. Sadly, the latter are often forgotten, or no family members survive to exercise their responsibility. Then the churchyard can easily get out of control.  We always appreciate help with the Churchyard, so if you can spare a couple of hours, please get in touch with the Rector or one of then Churchwardens..

Christ in Crisis

This is a scheme where birthday cards are sent to people who have joined the scheme and in return they donate a sum of money which is then used for any emergency at home or abroad.  We now need someone to take over. It would be a shame to let this worthwhile scheme fold. If you can help please contact the Rector as soon as possible, thank you.
