After both services at St James’s on Sunday 7th May we shared pieces of a wonderful cake made by Marillyn and decorated by Julie – a lovely nod to the Coronation the day before.
A Little Slice of Coronation
Toilet Twinning
On Saturday 15th April 2023 – We held a Toilet Twinning Coffee Morning in the church hall. Despite a small turn out we raised the healthy sum of just over £420 – meeting our Minister, Joan’s challenge. We have now been able to “twin” all seven of our toilets with those in developing countries including…Democratic […]
Bebbanburh or Bebbanburg or Bamburgh
This is an area that has probably seen more than 2000 years of comings and goings by sea and land. The rocky whinsill outcrop was once the site of an iron age fort, and no doubt used long before that by local tribes. It then became the capital of Northumbria with King Oswald, who brought […]
Commitment for Life
Our congregation recently made the kind donation of £808.65 to Commitment for Life this year. A letter of thanks and this certificate was received. Our continued generosity towards support for Christian Aid and Global Justice Now was much appreciated.

Easter Flowers

WARKWORTH WANDERINGS : 8TH FEBRUARY 2023
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 […]
A Wintery Wooden Walk
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 […]
