St Valentine's Day

Sunday 14th February 2016

Looking at the church from a different angle in the sun before the first service of the morning, I thank God for being loved.  All through the day I see people showing care for each other  --  welcoming the strangers who arrive in St Cuthbert's Bellingham to look round the building, planning for Messy Church to serve the needs of the Falstone families, meeting possible Confirmation candidates who begin to realise that they are each infinitely precious in the eyes of God whoever they are, and helping each other in practical ways (tissues and torches) at Thorneyburn where Evensong took place in St Aidan's covered in snow.
