On 31st July our morning worship, led by Revd Kate Hackett, was held in the church hall. This was a Service with a difference, where coffee and pastries/biscuits were served before and during the service. We sat around tables, as in a cafe, rather than in the formal rows of chairs in the Church sanctuary. […]
SCREMERSTON WALK : JUNE 2022 Generally we are very lucky with the weather. However our May walk at Scremerston would have been bleak and cold. So instead we started with a welcome cup of coffee at the Barn at Beal. We then set off down the track towards Holy Island, and turned left on to […]
Sunday 26th June, St James’ Morning Service was led by Madeline Russell, and based on the URC Jubilee. Instead of meeting upstairs in the Worship Area, we met in the Hall, sitting around 7 tables, one for each of the letters in JUBILEE. Each table was asked to think of something for which they gave […]
After a wonderful Pentecost Service by our Minister, we celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with refreshments and cakes in our church hall. Everyone was in good spirits after such a joyful weekend…a surprise royal guest turned up too!
Although some of us had done this walk before it is still a lovely one. As it was holiday time, we had all the Cartwright family which was a bonus, as well as others here on holiday, so we were 16 in all! The regular advance parties were already there when we arrived, finishing their […]

2ND ALNWICK (ST JAMES’S) GUIDES AND BROWNIES The Guides and Brownies invited Madeline to join them for an International Evening in February. However, due to very strong forecast winds, this was postponed to March. Madeline duly turned up and was in for a wonderful surprise! Brownies and Guides had gathered to make a presentation and […]
We had an amazing turn out and were 16 in total! A problem resulted in that Circa Café in Amble had other bookings so could only seat 10 of us. Fortunately, everyone was very understanding and it all resolved itself! Our walk took us round the lake, with the majority of the group opting for […]
Twelve of us met at the layby near Denwick Bridge and headed off towards Peter’s Mill. The Cycle Track was new to some of the group, while the number of houses being built was rather depressing. It was good to see that Lough House, where the Tears lived, was being renovated. After crossing the Aln we walked up through the beech […]
