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 […]
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!
