Christian’s Together in Alnwick (CTIA) Lent Lunches started two weeks ago with the first hosted by St James’s. We had a good turn out with all the churches represented. The soup made by 4 of our members was delicious and much appreciated by all who attended. Joan, our Minister, gave a thoughtful Lent Reflection. The […]
Another perfect day for our Warkworth walk. We met by the River Coquet and walked downstream to the bridges. I always remember George Hood here, as it was his brother who was involved in the design and construction of the ‘new’ bridge. We crossed the road and walked up the little pathway between the houses […]
Eight of us met on cold wintry morning in Hipsburn, with snow on the ground and more forecast. We set off up towards Alnmouth Station and then cut down to the Play Park. From here we crossed the small burn, and continued up through a field and under the railway line, then diagonally up through […]
28th November 2022 Our early Christmas Lunch will take place on Monday 28th November instead of December 5th due to our planned kitchen refurbishment. “Soup and Pudding” will be served in St James’s Church Hall at 12noon. This will be our last get together before Christmas. Our Coffee Morning’s will recommence in the New Year […]
Each year I try and come up with a slightly different angle on our Remembering. 2022 I was inspired by Joan’s reflections on the tree being a symbol of life and that November is very much a month of Remembering – All Saints and All Souls as well as Remembrance Day. In Junior Church […]
Our Harvest Service on World Communion Sunday took place with the kind donations of both fresh produce, toiletries and tinned/packaged foods. It was super to see the church decorated once again – a big miss for the last two years. Thank you to the team of helpers who put together the display along with our […]
September 2022 The thirteen of us, and the dog, were blessed with perfect weather for our September walk. For those of us who had tackled the Simonside Challenge this was a welcome change of terrain. We started on the old railway line, which once ran between Seahouses and Chathill. As a child, Maureen used this […]
On one of the hottest days in August six of us set off for Simonside from the Lordenshaws car park. We knew it would be challenging even without the heat, but we all lived to tell the tale! Some were even wondering if we could manage Cheviot next year! The Northumberland National Park have re-cycled […]
Our July walk was a great success, despite the route Madeline chose for our return! Four of us had enjoyed this walk in July 2018 so much that it was requested for this year. Nor did it disappoint with its repeat of amazing weather. From Clennel Hall we walked up the valley and then headed […]
Alnwick Flower Festival made a welcome return this year from 4th to 7th August. The theme this year was ‘Give Thanks’. The festival was a joint venture between St Paul’s Church and St Michael’s Church but other churches, organisations and various individuals all played a part in putting together 37 displays. Some people sponsored a […]
