‘Redesdale Rites’
The Church of England in Elsdon, Otterburn, Horsley & Byrness
14th February 2016
- Sunday Evening Meditation at St John's Otterburn, 6.00pm. Light a candle. Enjoy simple Taize songs, think about fasting for Lent and be still for ten minutes of silence. A time of tranquility to recharge your batteries. Every second Sunday of the month.
- Coming up: Prize Bingo at Otterburn Memorial Hall on Fri 26 Feb, 7 for 7.30 pm. All welcome
- 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.

Give us this day our daily bread
Just enough for each day, that others also may have enough

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
