The Parishes
Welcome to the North Beltisloe Group of Parishes
North Beltisloe is a group of seven Church of England parishes a few miles to the south east of Grantham in Lincolnshire. The group falls within the Diocese of Lincoln.

Growing mission
During 2019 the North Beltisloe Group of Parishes will be developing a new pattern of worship. This will embrace a variety of ways to worship, from the well-
However, prayer and worship are not only Sunday activities, and some people are unable to worship at weekends because of their work pattern or other commitments. An increasing number of our churches are open daily during the week, and offer a place to leave prayer requests and to light a candle. There is also a pattern of Morning and Evening Prayer around the Group, so you will find a weekday service somewhere in the Group of Parishes each day, except for Tuesday. Details of weekday services and other activities can be found in Anna’s Pew Sheet below
The churchwardens, ministry team and myself work to support the spiritual needs of our village communities, to the best of our ability. If you have any concerns or queries, please be in touch. Our contact details are on the ‘Contacts’ page, or the page for a specific parish.
Yours in Christ

SAFEGUARDING
The North Beltisloe Group of Parishes take the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults seriously.
Most of the time at church we are like a big, happy, family. However, even in very happy families, people can have a bad day and even people we know and trust can upset us. We want to help everyone have good days all the time. We try to make sure that people who have jobs in the church always behave well and in a way that is helpful to you. We never want anyone or anything in church to frighten you, confuse you or worry you. It is important that you tell us if something is upsetting you or if you are feeling worried about something that’s happening or something somebody is doing. We have specially trained people who you can talk to and who you can ask for help. These people are good at safeguarding. This means that they look after everyone’s safety. Caring for people is a very important part of our Christian life.
