Northumbrian Trinity

Members of the four Redesdale Churches shared in a 'Northumbrian Communion' at St Francis, Byrness on Trinity Sunday. The service was an adaptation of the liturgy of the Northumbria Community. The service was led by the Team Vicar. Lay reader Michael Nixon read and assisted at Communion, and Mari Mander led us in prayer. The were refreshments after the service.

A comfort and a challenge

The Gospel reading in Sunday's service tells part of Jesus' prayer for his disciples prior to leaving them and returning to his Father in heaven. It's both comforting and challenging to know that Jesus also prays for those who would follow him today. This is one of the themes of this week's sermon which can be found by clicking here or the 'Sermon Archive' link above.
Do you believe Jesus prays for you? What difference does that make to your life?

Guard duty
