The Priory and Parish Church of St Andrew
Sunday 5th April
Easter Sunday
Welcome to the Abbey today as we gather for worship
and fellowship. Today we celebrate with great joy the
resurrection and the wonder of Easter. A warm welcome
if you are visiting today. During communion all are
welcome to come forward for bread and wine or a
blessing – if for a blessing simply keep your head
bowed. We do hope you can stay for refreshments in
the South Transept after Parish Eucharist.
There is no Junior Church as on this special day the
whole Church family celebrate together. Tot’s Corner is
available at the back of the nave, beside the font.

Sung Responses to the Gospel
order to find the nine hidden letters around the Abbey…
a free, fun, family activity for the school holidays. Mini
prizes for all who enter! The art-carts are also available
– why not give them a whirl?
New Display – Do look at the new display in the Nave
display cabinets. An amazing Russian brass and
enamel icon has been retrieved from storage. It gives,
in fantastic detail, the whole life of Christ from birth to
crucifixion – and beyond!
Open Gardens Day – All those who expressed an
interest in being involved are invited to a meeting over
th
coffee after the 10am Service on Sunday 19 April –
see you in the South Transept (flower in lapel optional!)
West Northumberland Food Bank – Holidays are
Not the Sunday Lunch – the Lent Soup team would
like to thank everyone for their help with this venture
and all who came to join us, and to announce that an
amazing £1,032 was raised for Christian Aid as well as
good and fellowship being enjoyed by so many.
Writer in Residence – Harry Pearson will be

th
starting on 15 April, please do take the chance to
speak to him.
especially difficult times for families who need the Food
Bank to be able to put food onto their tables. There is
no support from free school meals so the pressure
grows at home. Can you help by bringing cans or
packets of food in to swell the Abbey's collection?
(Collection point by the Vestry). Can you help in a
practical way? Our week of Stacking and Packing starts
on Monday 13 April. Volunteers need on that day 10001200 and Wednesday 15 and Friday 17 at the same
times at the ADAPT unit on Burn Lane. Please contact
David Ratcliff (608882) if you are able to help.
