You don’t have to believe in God to ask for prayer.  We’ll pray for you.  

24/7 Prayer for Wharfedale is an initiative to pray for people whatever their need and to pray for God’s blessing on the valley.

Your prayer request will be read by a small group of prayers only.  They are members of the established Christian churches, who are committed to pray for Wharfedale and its people.

Ilkley Art Trail including some of our church members

Posted on September 26, 2011 by

The first Ilkley Art Trail will see more than thirty local artists exhibit work in local venues including private homes and, unusually, the Ilkley brewery.  

The curator Lorna Bird thinks that there are many talented artists in Ilkley but that they work in isolation.  She hopes that the Art Trail will bring them together and be the start of some creative new relationships.

The trail incudes the work of Graham Wilson who’s work is well known to the congregation of St Margaret’s.   We’ve been to meet Lorna to find out more.
