‘Redesdale Rites’
The Church of England in Elsdon, Otterburn, Horsley & Byrness
28th February 2016
- The ‘Prize Bingo. at Otterburn last Friday evening raised £566.00 towards church funds for St John the Evangelist. Many thanks to all helpers, and those who provided the prizes.
- Don’t forget: ‘Women’s World Day of Prayer’ Service on Friday 4th March, 6.30pm at St John’s Church Otterburn. (see below for more details)
- Have you been confirmed? Or do you know of anyone who might want to be? A Service of Confirmation is planned for May 15th. It is to be held at St John’s Otterburn but is for anyone in the Team Parish. There is no upper age limit and increasingly more mature people are asking about confirmation. I would be more than happy to have a chat with anyone who wants to find out more.
