A Christmas joy as always to host Free Spirits Nursery for their Nativity Christingle. All the children sang their songs so well! 👏 No photos of the kids on social media, but here’s a little flavour of our service.

Our Christmas memory tree at the Freeman Main Reception is up and shining bright. Please stop by to add a tag to the tree and remember your loved ones this Christmas. 🎄✨

(Additional tree going up at Leazes Wing Reception at RVI tomorrow)

With Christmas decorations going up all over our hospitals it felt time to put up the tree in the Freeman Chapel 🎄

For those who celebrate, this Sunday marks the first Sunday of the advent season. The chaplaincy team has produced a series of reflections for each week of advent to help you as you prepare for Christmas. Each reflection is based on a Christmas carol.

‘The bishops of the Diocese of Newcastle join their voices to the many expressing horror and dismay at the attacks on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester. We ask for prayers for the victims and for the community affected by this atrocity, and for our Jewish friends in Newcastle and across our region. We stand in solidarity against hate and urge all of us again to commit to peace so that all may live and worship in safety.’

Guess who’s on the Hopper bus? It’s Rosie 🐾 Having taken over from Mac, as staff welfare dog, she’s on her way to Freeman Hospital, having spent the morning at the RVI to spread her own brand of love and pawsitivity. Keep an eye out for her.
