Parish Goings On

In some ways a rather quiet time in the life of the Church. The regular activities carry on but if you’re fortunate to have holidays, this is the beginning of such things. Hopefully everyone has been able to enjoy the recent good weather, although it was understandably too hot for some.

Of note we should mention that the church held the funeral of a well known Swalwell man, David Falcus. Almost 450 people came to pay their respects and James conducted a very thoughtful and respectful Christian funeral. More stories were shared afterwards as mourners gathered in the Sun and the Highlander pubs for the wake.

Two members of our congregation completed a Pilgrimage walk in Northern SpainĀ  at the beginning of June. The walk of over 50 miles, between A Caruna and Santiago de Compostela, celebrates the life of St James, one of the very first disciples of Jesus. St James is the Patron Saint of Spain and his remains are sanctified and retained in the Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Our two walkers carried everything they needed for 6 days on the journey, staying overnight in a variety of accommodations. ThereĀ  a few photos below of their Pilgrim Walk
