Bolton Abbey

Rectors message: This Sunday is designated as Bible Sunday when we celebrate Holy Scripture. However, a chance encounter with a Muslim family at Bolton Priory the other day reminded me that Jews, Christians and Muslims, to a certain extent, all share the same book. Indeed, Islam describes Christians and Jews as ‘People of the Book’. On this Bible Sunday therefore, as we reflect once again on relations in this country between Christians and Muslims, let us try and look beyond our differences and reflect on our similarities instead. If we are able to share one Book, we can surely share our lives together, peacefully too?

Church news: The Church is now open every Sunday for the 10.30 am service and Wednesday for the 10 am Service. The Tower remains open for private prayer but the Church is closed during the week, For the audio services, the weekly sheet and magazine please look at: www.boltonpriory.church

Giggleswick

Parish Council: Meeting October 12. The council had received a representation from a resident raising concerns that debris and garden waste is frequently found in Tems Beck. Recently, the resident removed vast quantities of weed which had accumulated at the bridge support at Four Lane Ends as well as frequently clear garden waste out of the Beck to stop the water course being blocked. The Council has posted three documents on its website at www.giggleswickparishcouncil.co.uk explaining to all riparian owners to leave most of the in-stream vegetation to allow for a faster flow of the water so is much less liable to silt accumulation. Bankside woody vegetation, on the other hand, should be periodically cut back in order that it does not collect debris during high flow periods, which could increase flood risk. The council would like to remind all residents that no waste at all should go into Tems Beck.

The next parish council meeting will be held on November 9 at 7.30 pm in the Parish Room, next to the vicarage in Bankwell Road.
