New Year ideas!

Thursday 12th January 2017

Back from church to a prompt telephone call to ask about the possibility of a speaker from Christian Aid for our united gathering of the Bellingham Churches to share varied food and discussion.
     Then, after the Communion service, the food theme continued with planning for making pancakes in school on Shrove Tuesday and perhaps having a donkey (not part of the food theme) for a Palm Sunday procession.
     I reported back to the joint Churches meeting and we continued by making plans for our Lent groups: the Northern saints and our modern "saints"/charities.
     The evening was the Friends of St Cuthbert's Bellingham looking for ways to encourage more people to join them if they want to keep the church building standing  --  and all the activities emanating from there to continue.
