A beautiful start to the new St Aidan’s Way pilgrimage. Pilgrims crossed from Holy Island at low tide, then gathered for an outdoor Eucharist with Bishop Helen-Ann before continuing on to Belford in the sunshine. ☀️🚶‍♂️

Today St John’s Chevington and St Cuthbert's Amble joined together in worship with Rev Rachael leading our service for the first time as priest-in-charge of the benefices of Amble and Chevington 🤲🏽

[Anthony Reay @AnthonyGReay]

@BishopNewcastle You are welcome. A joyful, welcoming and loving welcome for Rachael. I’m still laughing at ‘Merry Christmas from Arriva’ 🤣

[Anthony Reay @AnthonyGReay]

What a week, Thursday saw ‘bishop watch’, Rev Rachael being installed and a good old bun fight to finish the evening off 🤲🏽

Life is good in this place, God is at work in this place, to bear witness is joyful!

This afternoon I had the pleasure of leading our thank you to our retired priest’s who’ve walked along side us during our vacancy. #stjohnschev is stronger together because of that journey.

Welcomed tribute to @BishopNewcastle by one of our North East MP’s today 🤲🏽 Standing with and being a champion for victims isn’t always as easy as it should be! #proud

[Chi Onwurah 💙 @ChiOnwurah]

I paid tribute to @BishopNewcastle for her leadership in championing victims following the Makin Review.

I asked the Church Commissioners about the review's implementation, resources for safeguarding, and whether the Church is focusing on victims, not the careers of clergy.

[Anthony Reay @AnthonyGReay]

Just a friendly reminder: The same God that created this, created you.

[Anthony Reay @AnthonyGReay]

Compassionate God, as you know each star you have created, so you know the secrets of every heart; in your loving mercy bring all to your table. So that our hungers may be satisfied in the city of your peace; through Christ who is our peace.

Joyous to worship today #StJohnsChev

May the love and light found by those who traveled far to meet a baby in a manger filled you heart today and always 🤲🏽

Wishing you and your families a very Happy Christmas 🌟

[Prof Francesca Stavrakopoulou @ProfFrancesca]

I’ve known Bishop Helen-Ann Hartley since our doctoral days (she remains a very important person to me). And she’s *always* stuck her own neck out to defend those who are vulnerable, marginalised, or traumatised. She’s always been completely ace.

An uplifting, supportive and inspiring time together. Empowering our seeking God at work in this place…
