A short prayer for the month ~ Loving God  You continually call us to follow you. Give us courage to trust you more as we plan for the future, make us open to new ways of worshipping, whilst not forgetting our treasures from the past. Lift us from feeling dispirited when things don’t always go well and remind us that you can bring change and hope into every situation. ~ Amen.   

If you have any good holiday snaps that you think would make nice backdrops for hymns or bible texts and would like to see them featured on the screen on a Sunday please give a digital copy to the projection team.

Ongoing contributions to the West Northumberland Food Bank of non-perishable food particularly cartons of long life milk, fruit juice, flavoured packs of noodles, jams & tinned meat, fish, fruit and vegetables continue to be welcomed as the need for food parcels is still necessary.

There is a basket in the Church Hall for any contributions. Please note that unfortunately the food bank is unable distribute food that is outside its sell by date.

Our Church is now open from 10 30 am ~ noon each Monday to serve coffee/tea, and to have a ‘natter’ or a time of ‘peace’.
